Hi!

Is it possible to create an overlay button on GMaps? This overlay button should start another app.

Procedure: First I want to start GMaps, then the b4a micro program with the overlay button (this micro program consists only of the overlay button). When I press the overlay button another app should be started. I hope it is clear.

No. This button has nothing to do with GMaps. It is only used for starting comfortably and quick another program which I need for my travel too.

This would be the second part (starting the other app). But how do I get a button (i.e. red dot) on the map of GMaps??
this is difficult to say without additional information about your project. Is it a webview with a html based google map or is it android google map?

I want to start the original GMaps app, then my small program with the overlay button.
There are programs which run in the background and you can overlay only a widget or sth. similar in the foreground of another program which is active at the moment.
