The Canvas Graph tutorial demonstrates how to use the App Inventor 2 Canvas control to graph data. A developer can use the graphing capability of the Canvas to plot data in different ways. The aia code is the basis for graphing equations with user input of variables and real time graphing. Canvas Graph is an Expert level tutorial, it describes what, not how and requires downloading the aia source. The CanvasGraph.aia is here. Download the CanvasGraph aia from the directory that appears in the link.

| Traduire le message en français Yes to both of your questions. Do the following tutorials and you will know how to record 'bread crumbs' or way points. The LocationSensor tutorial http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/location-sensor.html . This tutorial shows one way to generate a list of waypoints and displays the list of lat/lon coordinates once a minute or so. This could be modified so that the points can be captured only when a button is touched. The list, which includes the time and Accuracy, can be displayed with only the coordinates …the way points. ====== AI2 Static Maps 101…the Google Static Map Tutorial for AI2 demonstrates how to use map pins. ====== ====== AI2 Static Maps 102…the Magic Map Pins Tutorial demonstrates how to use map pins in conjunction with a device's GPS receiver. ====== The Static Maps tutorials plot the information on a Google map and require a WIFI or network connection. It is possible to plot this information also on a map you provide if you know the geographic coordinates of two alternate corners of your own image map. It requires a lot of coding, uses a Canvas control and the World to Screen algorithm shown in this tutorial: ====== Canvas Graph…an expert AI2 tutorial .. you need the algolrithm for placing each of the x and y coordinates on to the Canv as. ====== The following two mini tutorials show how to store the information in a TinyDB Stephen's example https://sites.google.com/site/stevozip/home/AI2/tinydb Richard's example https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/mitappinventortest/Ww6mWkkXuAI/_To4k0A3wosJ However the solution I like best would store the breadcrumbs / way points in a csv file using the File object. FIle and csv's …. another possibility for storing and retrieving you leader board info….here are links to a lot of stuff about them sort:relevance|https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mitappinventortest/csv%7Csort:relevance https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mitappinventortest/tips$20and$20tricks$20csv/mitappinventortest/Ypmah2qbGxw/dlYjWgP86dUJ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mitappinventortest/tips$20and$20tricks$20csv/mitappinventortest/sRdy1dD9SK0/5j2SB35KTdAJ An issue here is how to store the latitude , longitude coordinates, one way is to display coordinates like those for Yellowstone National Park ( 44.427963,-110.588455 ) like this: “44.427963,-110.588455” inside double quotes as a single csv item. The File mini tutorials do not show exactly what you need to do. Does this help? Good luck with your project. Regards, Steve
