There are some examples of how to draw routes, markers etc on maps using google maps API at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/... and similar. Once you get it working on a webpage it's fairly simple to convert to an app using Phonegap. I made an app that way for finding bars open - kinda works ok. ('late bars london')

I don't know if pg has changed significantly, but good maps were very hard to do when I looked at them seriously 2 years ago. Few a map centric app, JavaScript maps just don't cut it in production, an native plugins just weren't available for Android.

This sound fun, and there is an awesome Famo.us+Mapbox implementation somewhere. Shoot me an email and let's make it real quick!

intel's xdk platform might be worth looking at, as is titanium.

I encourage you to see Intel XDK screenshots. Just type "intel xdk" in google images. If that doesn't scare you...

Thank you.
