If you want to do this on a one-off basis then you should be ok to download the .atom file in your browser while logged in, place the .atom file on another web server somewhere and then Google should be able to see it, unfortunately there's not a lot more that you can do right now.

I tried importing the Atom log to Google map via URL but no route or points happened to appear in the map that I created.... Sorry for troubling mate. Thanks for your prompt reply John

Should I convert the log into GeoRSS format before importing to Google Map? I tried importing the Atom log to Google map via URL but no route or points happened to appear in the map that I created….

Sorry for troubling mate.

If you use the API though you can get it in Atom format with GeoRSS embedded which the Google Maps website can parse and show. You can also get JSON output which you might want to use as a more basic format to generate something from yourself. An example API call would be: http://mapme.at/api/where.atom?username=royaliris&mode=since&since=1%20day%20ago If you change the .atom part to .json you get the JSON output, you can change the "since" parameter and add an "until" parameter if you want, it should understand most English ways of describing time. You can use the API while logged into the site to get your location at full accuracy but if using it with a separate app or website you may need to use the OAuth API to get the full accuracy. Hope this helps Hi Mike

The Cloudmade map only can zoom to city level in my country (Macau, China). Many thanks for your reply.

Yesterday I bought 3 books and start reading. Android SDK is quite simple so I think I will start an android app for mapme in 1 or 2 weeks and hope to have a first version in July. I will contact you later by e-mail to have somme details with your API. John, since 1 week, I start with android SDK. Yesterday I bought 3 books and start reading.

Good luck with your Android development!

They are more uptodate. And for me on my laptop, color scheme is very difficult to see residential road (almost same colour as the background).
