navigation on android

There are a couple of ways to implement navigation. Starting with the simplest.

google maps app

We used this for doing a trip along funda houses in certain areas.

funda API

Mainly , you could try to scrape the funda offers using this python scraper.

visit

It boils down to :

from funda_scraper import FundaScraper

scraper = FundaScraper(area="provincie-zeeland", want_to="buy", find_past=False)
df = scraper.run()
print(df)

scraper.save_csv(df)

Of course you need to install funda-scraper first with:

pip3 install funda-scraper

You will get a list of houses in :

data/houseprice_date_provincie-zeeland_selling_15.csv

But it will only provide 46 line. so definitely not all of zeeland. It is probably a limit for the funda webpage.

google maps directions.

Mainly it will be better to open up google maps on your desktop and hit the directions icon. Here you can add (as many as you like ?) locations in a row. You will have to order them somewhat because there is no optimization.

  • So open up funda and
  • look for the houses you want to visit
  • add them to google maps as new locations
  • rearrange them (or write a small tsp for it)
  • Enable notifications for the google maps app.
  • hit "send directions to you phone"
  • On you phone watch for the message and click on it.

Of course there should be a connection either with usb or wifi for that to work.

I will mention it very shortly here because it is very rude and slow. Also the code was not touched for at least 2 years. But it seems to be totally free !

It might be worth a try to get it faster and to lose the awkward button interface.

osmand

osmand is not totally free but it looks much better and faster. The license seems to say that you will have to make your app free if you use it. Also there is an API where you can put routes into the osmand app that should then of course be installed.

Worth a try as well visit
