[mono-android] My next big project for Android - advice please on if this can be done using Mono for Android

[Tomasz Cielecki]

Drawing lines on a canvas is possible along with drag and drop as you
are able to register listeners to Touch Events on Views and you can
easily override the Draw method on a View.

I have done a similar think with a View to create my own graphs which
I draw manually with lines and paths. Though without zoom or anything,
but that could be implemented by listening to events and react to
those.

I think your biggest challenge is going to be to find out how to model
all the roads, junctions and so on and how to tie them together (maybe
you already have thought of this?)

I think as a whole the Mono for Android platform is ready for what you
are trying to achieve. Can't see why it shouldn't be.
