Google Map

Navigating

The Google Map SDK for Android's terms of use forbids using Google's navigation data for real-time navigation in your own application. If you want to show the user how to get from point A to B in real time, you need to launch the Google Maps application itself.

We launch navigation using an Android Intent. An Intent describes something you would like to do, typically with a different application or system service. This intent contains a URI that represents the navigation request:

The Google Maps application registers IntentFilters that watch for URIs starting with "https://www.google.com/maps". The Android platform directs this Intent to Google Maps, and it presents navigation options:
