Summary

It is true that the Maps API has a lot more to offer than we have had room to explore here. It is also true that once you are connected to the Google servers and have SupportMapFragment and its map object, you can quickly do more.

Take a look at the Google Maps page on the Google developer website at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/ and check how to add some more functionality of your own.

In the next chapter, we will do a bit more location and map coding and at the same time learn how to upgrade/add features to our SQLite database, even after the app has been published.
