Map Navigator for SAPUI5

i'd like to ask about your idea how we can implement a map navigator in SAPUI5? For example, we need to get the current location of the user, then suggest the nearest fastfood around him. Is this possible in SAPUI5?
yes its possible.. Search in the internet and come up with something.
Get started here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp
http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.4.0/map-geolocation/
It is possible to integrate map API into a SAPUI5 application. Firstly you need to decide which map provider should be used in your case. for example, if you want to use google map you can refer to this blog https://blogs.sap.com/2014/07/01/google-maps-library-for-ui5/
But SAPUI5 library provides a map control to integrate with geo map. you can refer to http://veui5infra.dhcp.wdf.sap.corp:8080/sapui5-sdk-dist/test-resources/sap/ui/vbm/bestpractices.html
You can use either SAP controls for that, for example this one:
sap.ui.vbm.GeoMap
Or you could pick any free JS third-party library and integrate it with your sapui5 view.
(There are many threads explaining how to use third-party libraries in sapui5).

Dynamic Chart using Xamarin Forms

I am newbie in Xamarin; I know there must be ready components for what I need, already I searched but not yet found.
I need to create a dynamic graphic like this:
http://www.highcharts.com/demo/dynamic-update
I wore this in PhoneGap (html5 + JS), but now I'm moving to Xamarin forms and would like to know if any third component is what I need or I'll have to do everything from scratch.
Thank you.
I'm currently looking into graphing too and OxyPlots seems to be a pretty good line graph tool. I don't think it supports dynamic updating so you'd have to program it to update manually when new data points come available.
I've not gotten round to actually using this myself but I thought I'd post this here in case it works for you.
Edit: Here's a list of examples. Also you can add it to your project using nuget so it should be easy to set up.
I'm using Syncfusion controls for Xamarin.Forms and I'm satisfied with it. They also have a free license for individual developers and small businesses.
For dynamically updated Xamarin charts SciChart offers an extremely high performance solution. With the SciChart Xamarin Chart control you can draw up to a million points, zoom, pan and scroll big datasets interactively.
Check out performance demos here:

Google Web Toolkit With Line/Pie Graphs

Currently I am using Google Charts with Google Web Toolkit but I wanted to explore other options for graphing. I looked into jGraph and the gwt extension mxgraph but that seems to only support actual graphs for flowcharts/diagraming?
Is there any other library (other than Google charts) that I can use to visually show line/pie graphs?
Thanks
Please have a look at high level visualization charts

And wonderful showcase here

Hope that helps.Good luck.

GWT Chart library - ability to blow-up components inside the chart

I have a specific requirement for my GWT charting library. I need a library that supports a variety of graphs (bar, line, pie) and should have the ability to handle events from inside a chart (like clicking on a bar inside the bar graph - this would allow me to show extra information as a popup when its clicked).
I know that conventional wisdom states that its not possible without using Flash/Flex or a third-party embedded component but I am assuming that there would be a HTML5 charting library that would allow me to do it. I have tried to search but unsuccessfully. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I am not a fan of FusionCharts. They have fancy charts but missed the market trend towards HTML5 and allowed Highchart to pick up charting market.
A good way to analyze is to pick up Fusion Charts competition as starting point and then list out your parameters.The below link is heavy duty marketing. Use it only to know what Fusion Chart' competitors are.
http://www.fusioncharts.com/success-stories/competition-and-us/
The rest of the content on the above link is more of marketing bs.
Google Charts support all that, AFAIK.
Or is that answer too obvious ?
And there is a GWT wrapper available.

Looking for an interactive pie chart to use with GWT (without extern communication)?

I'm looking for a stand-alone Pie Chart which I can use in a GWT application. The Chart should be interactive, so that I can react on user input (read mouse clicks on the chart).
I've already looked at Google Chart Tools with GWT Visualization. This is exactly what I want. A simple to use PieChart class with user interaction and a simple and comprehensive data input. Except that the data is transfered to Google for the rendering part. The data should not leave the client or our server.
Have you tried Fusion Charts? Here's the Pie Chart showcase. Its a Flash object hence you will need to use JSNI to embed the object into your widget or use a library like GWT2SWF to do it for you.
I have used Fusion Charts + GWT2SWF combination in one of my products, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a interactive flash charting tool (outside of google's toolset)
A colleague of mine found following library: GChart. Rather then using Flash we'll try to draw our own. Not sure how easy this will be.
You mentioned:
"The Data should not leave the server"
With Google visualization APIs (as opposed to the chart apis) the data remains on your server, only the code is downloaded from google.
However, if you meant that you shouldnt need access to google at all, then GCharts is the only remaining and a pretty good option.
Check out GWT-RCharts hosted on http://code.google.com/p/gwt-rcharts/ . It is stand alone i.e doesn't have external dependency like Visualization. The API works on SVG/VML specification so no plugin dependency. You may find it quite easy to install, implement and use. You can find the demo at http://gwt-rcharts.appspot.com/
