Considering Route boxer as library google map v3 for web development.
I have try searching around solution for this but still confuse me.
finally can implement it to android by using google direction library download it from here and using routeboxer.java from here

I am looking for native android maps api to plot the map markers and to plot the path between two markers using xamarin.
I have done this at present using Google Maps api but my client seems to be not happy with using Google maps. Client seems to be thinking that Google maps API works only when we have active internet connection and does not work offline and the NATIVE ANDROID API works offline too.
I am not quite sure about clients thinking but I am unable to find any native maps api. All the tutorials and articles are using Google maps.
I am a student and am attempting to create an indoor positioning system for my department. I'm using a WiFi-based localization system utilizing the existing APs. Right now I'm researching different maps to use for my project.
Can Google Maps be used for a custom image (like a floor plan)? Or can a mobile application be interfaced with the existing Google Maps API? If so could you please link to references?
Thanks
Not too sure about indoor positioning, but I used Google Maps API for you know.. maps. Below is the link for the Google Maps APIs.

My classmate did a project quite similar to yours. He drew the indoor layout (floor plan) himself and set it in his Android Application.
After reading this link: https://www.google.com/maps/about/partners/indoormaps/
It seems Google has made an API.
Found it, here you go:

I am new to the Google Maps API for android, and recently encountered a problem with a project I'm making. I'm trying to make a network of polylines that represent walking paths on Google maps, but I was wondering, is it possible to get the typical google directions for navigating those polylines? For example, if you are in a park and there are several paths to get to the parking lot, would google maps be able to tell you the fastest path if the paths are represented by polylines?
I am doing an app that allows users to get directions from one room to the next room of the same building and require the application to show the user indoor directions. I have tried and tested the Google Maps Intent which opened the Google Maps app and gave directions from one room to the next. I am required to not allow the user to open up an external map app and then receive directions. Instead they must use the Google Map built into my application. I was wondering if it's at all possible to do indoor directions on Google Maps Android API. Would genuinely appreciate any help I get. Thanks!
The Google Maps Android API v2 has options for indoor maps. See https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/ under 'Indoor Maps' for a quick example.
Of course, that doesn't prevent them from using an external app by itself, but it does let you provide them indoor map data in your app.
Well I think you should have to start by using internal sensors to navigate. Add an indoor map of the building so that you would know where you are at in the building.
Is it possible to develop an application for Android and iOS that uses offline maps with routes and use GPS to navigate on them? (On foot and vehicle)
I found another answers but the question that is still in my head is, is it possible to user Google Maps or Apple Maps for this?
I also tried to search for a good 3rd party service that gives me what i want, but still nothing.

You can't use Google Map for offline usage. It's against TOS (Terms Of Service)
(any caching or downloading of google maps is against Google Map TOS)
and is illegal.
You can use OpenStreetMaps(OSM) and a map serving service like Mapbox. OSM uses open mapping data that has been provided by users and other contributors and is free to use. With mapbox you can host your maps online but you can also store maps offline. With Mapbox Studio you can custom design your maps to create the kinds of visual hierarchy, affordances, and brand standards that your app needs.
Check out these links for more details:
http://mapbox.com and
http://openstreetmap.org
Also Mapbox uses a pretty straight forward API and lots of documentation. Implementation into IOS is also very easy and you can almost just copy/paste to Xcode (almost).
