Android Auto - Map Rendering Development
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
# Android Automotive OS Map Rendering Implementation
## Project Overview
We need to implement a map rendering solution for an Android Automotive OS application. The application currently displays route information in item rows but requires proper map visualization in the background using the Android Automotive OS
## Current Implementation
We have a working `RouteMapScreen` class that handles:
- Route data fetching and display
- List of routes with distance, duration, and cost
- Basic UI templates using Android Automotive OS components
- MapWithContentTemplate integration
## Technical Requirements
### Core Functionality Needed
1. **Map Background Rendering**
- Implement map rendering
- Display map background with proper scaling and positioning
- Smooth rendering performance
2. **Route Visualization**
- Draw route paths on the map
- Display start/end markers & fuel station markers enroute
- Highlight selected route
- Support for multiple route options
3. **Interactive Features**
- Pan and zoom functionality
- Map recentering
- Route selection visualization
- Smooth transitions between states
### Technical Specifications
- Language: Kotlin
- Platform: Android Automotive OS
- Key APIs:
- Android Automotive OS Surface API
- MapController
- SurfaceCallback
- Canvas drawing
- Matrix transformations
