Overlay a static image on a MapView

I'm still a newbie to Android but have searched high and low for an answer to my problem without success.

I have a map view that the user can fully manipulate (scroll, enlarge etc.) but I need to let the user know where the midpoint of the map is. I want to use a small "crosshair" image for this and display it at the centre of the map AT ALL TIMES and AT ALL LEVELS OF MAGNIFICATION. In fact, I just want the image to remain on view at all times. Can I find a way to do this? Can I hell!

I'm sure there is a very simply solution to this from one or two of you gurus out there. Please help.

Tony

In your layout file that contains the MapView, make sure that the Layout container is of type RelativeLayout. Then simply add the ImageView as a child of the RelativeLayout, with an attribute of layout_gravity="center"

Basically, research RelativeLayout.
