MapVue

This app can load and display one or more ESRI Shapefiles with Google Maps as the base map. The overlay colors are randomly assigned by the app, but the user can bring up the layer properties to adjust the colors, opacity, and text labels. Only point or text features are clickable; however, users can enable text labelling for linear and polygon features. Once tapped, a snippet balloon will be displayed - a further tap will display the data attributes of the feature.

Only a limited set of source coordinate system types is available for this version, namely Geographic, and common projections like UTM, State Plane, Cassini-Soldner, Mercator, Transverse Mercator, with a choice of geodetic datums including WGS84. Unfortunately, user defined projection parameters are not available yet. Prj files are currently not used too.

The app will automatically remember the Shapefiles and layer properties without the user having to explicitly save the settings.

There are tons of ways the app can be improved but those are for later versions.

Have fun.
