[ARDF] Looking ahead to ARDF apps (in 2012)

[Charles Scharlau]

I'm pretty sure that Android can support an ARDF app much like this one. At
least I don't see why not.

The core to an app like this is the "slippy map", which is available as
open source for iOS. I use one called "Route-Me". I haven't looked very
hard for an Android open source slippy map, so one might already be out
there.

I don't see myself having the time to branch out into Android work anytime
soon. But if anyone is interested in writing an Android ARDF app, I'll be
happy to share what I've learned.
