Qt5/QML Displaying a custom route on a map - maps

What would be the best way to draw a custom route on a QML Map with a set of given coordinates?
Basically, all I need is that the map highlights the path along the road and does not go straight to each point.
No animations needed either.
Edit:
I need it to be in a desktop application.

One option is to display a HTML website using Leaflet or OpenLayers. Both support displaying a GPX track. The track can be obtained by using one of the various online routers for OSM.

React Leaflet Map simple external - href - button in Nav bar above map that pans-zooms map to a point on Map

This I am sure is easy but cannot find a simple example of it anywhere that works with React Leaflet.
Trying to simply have a button external to the map that pans and zooms the map to that point.
Assuming needs to be more React/Leaflet React specific to ones I have tried.
Fine with adding markers popups etc see example.
Hope someone out there has a small example of how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Place Image above another image dynamically in ReactNative App

I have an iOS app in which, we take user pics, and then allowed them to put some random custom images above the pics.
While placing these custom pics above real image, they can rotate, scale these custom image. ( See this StickerViewIOS )
Now I am looking for exact same solution while making ReactNative.
Tried lot of Googling but no results found.
Just want to ask community if any of the ReactNative component available for the same.
Thanks,
There's no rotation support, but I did something similar for an app I made for Chain React.
Here's the image component that supports gestures: https://github.com/cball/ChainReactPhotobomb/blob/master/App/Components/TransformableImage.js
To overlay them on top, just use the ImageBackground Component

Custom marker with Angular Google Maps

I am using the Angular Google maps directive to show maps on my webpage. Currently my markers are created using SVG but this is slow as I have to pass my information into a function that creates an SVG in memory to pass to the Google Icon. So I want to replace it with a custom HTML marker which will hopefully be less code and can leverage CSS classes for lots of the heavy lifting.
Unfortunately this isn't available as standard within the Angular Google Maps markers (unless I havent seen it?!)
I found a tutorial on how to do this with Overlays but I need clustering to work with my icons.
How can I do this? Without rewriting everything from scratch? Ideally I'd like to leverage as much of the existing angular-google-maps code as possible
The way I ended up doing this was to put in rich HTML into the labelContent property, setting a class on it via labelClass and then setting the icon to be transparent (https://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/transparent.png)
This way the actual icon is invisible but you can create rich HTML / CSS markers through the label. And this doesnt break functionality with the clusterer

Facebook Canvas App using Angular JS

I want to create an application on Facebook and I will host it on our server to be used from Facebook Canvas.
I was thinking of creating the web app with Angular.JS but one of my friends told me that my web app must be drawn inside a <canvas> html tag or I will not have the full functionality of Facebook integration.
So this is my question, do I have to draw my elements inside a <canvas>? or I can use other html tags with some basic animation?
No, you do NOT need to use HTML5 Canvas. There are "Canvas Apps", but there is no relation to HTML5 Canvas. Please check out the docs for more information: https://developers.facebook.com/docs
There are only a few things that are not possible without a Canvas App. For example, you can only use Notifications with a Canvas App, or you can only use invitable_friends in a gane with Canvas implementation. DonĀ“t worry about those before reading the docs.

google maps silverlight

I am working on silverlight 4 application and need to implement google maps in the same app.
Now to implement the google maps, i was planning to use WebBrowser control but when i used it i found out that it will run only in out of browser mode.
So, i decided to use another approach since i want to implement google maps inside of my application. I then used http://csharperimage.jeremylikness.com/2010/09/hosting-html-in-silverlight-not-out-of.html alternative which was having to use iframe to show web page there. It was seems to be good alternative in start. But Here comes another twist.
On top of my app, i have one top MENU for navigation, its a classic web menu, user hover over the menu item and its sub item will expand vertically.
Now just underneath the MENU i have above HTML control to display my map. Now since the HTML browser control has higher z-Index so my vertical sub menu is goes underneath the google map and hence it not visible.
And giving silverlight app higher z-Index the iframe for HTML does not show up as it goes behind the app.
So how can i get my HTML MAP and MENU both to work? If you guys have any other alternative to implement google maps then please let me know
Thanks
I would recommend using the Silverlight Bing Maps control, with the tile-source set to Google Maps. This will give you the maps you desire, via a proper Silverlight control. You can find out about how to provide a custom tile source from Google here:
