====== Map Suite Android Edition ======
** The page was created before Map Suite 10. Map Suite 10.0 organized many classes into new namespaces and assemblies as well as had a few minor breaks in compatibility.  The majority of previously built code should work without modification assuming the new namespaces are added.  For guidance on upgrading your existing code check out this(http://wiki.thinkgeo.com/wiki/map_suite_10_upgrade_guide). **

ThinkGeo's Map Suite for Android™ is a powerful .NET control that lets you add interactive maps and professional-grade GIS to your Android apps. Using the power of the [[http://xamarin.com/|Xamarin]] mobile platform and Map Suite together, you can develop native Android apps using the C# language and .NET libraries you're already familiar with.
