GeoPicker on Android

This is my first app on Android Market. Sometime I want to know the coordinates of a building, a address, a place or my current location. So I make this application for me and I like it. So I publish on Android Market and hope it can help someone.

I don't like a complex application. So GeoPicker is a simple and useful tool. I hope you will like it.

How to use:

You can drag the pin or pan the map to anywhere. The panel on below will show the coordinates of the pin. You also can use menu->MyLocation to move pin to your current location.

Release History:
0.9->

• MyLocation: move pin to your current location.
• Format: change coordinates format
• Satellite: switch map/satellite.
• Search: reverse address geocoding, seach a place
  

0.91->

• Copy: copy current location to ClipBoard
• fix a little bug

0.92->

• Direction: invoke Google map to direct from your current location to pin.

1.0->

• coordinates in Clipboard will change to lat/lon:xx.xxx, xxx.xxxxx . I think maybe someone will misunderstand lat/lon,so I won't remove the lat/lon. But new format you can erase "lat/lon:" more easily.
• panning map and drag pin smoother
• click coordinates panel to change format
• address geocoding
• UI tuning

1.1->

• provide a interface for other apps
• copy address into clipboard

1.2->

• customized copy format
