I have a problem: I need to calculate the routing within a mall that has a plan registered in google maps, but with the direction API can not get the indoor routing. To be precise if I am away from the mall and I want to calculate the route to an internal area, I am guided to the outside of the mall, while I would like my app would calculate a route for the section inside the building . To do this I currently use the Google Maps Android API v2 and the Direction api with json output. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? sorry for my bad English
I have exactly the same problem; compting a route (with mode=walking) between two points that are both inside a mall gives a path that starts, goes and ends out of the building.
The closest similar path found on Google Maps (HTML version, from a browser) is the "bike" one...

I'm a beginner in the development for android, and I'm working on a small application integrating the Api google map and direction.
My app is based on an area in which google map did not consider all the routes, so I had to create my own polyline, and I would like them to be taken into account in the itinerary calculation of the direction api. I did some research but without any expected result.
Thank you in advance for your help.
New to Stackoverflow, did some searching and couldn't find anything that really matched what I'm looking for unless I'm using the wrong keywords. I did find guides on how to plot a route when you know the actual route, but I'm looking to do it from actually walking it, see below:
I'm fairly new to web development and am looking to plot maps of a trail on a website using an embedded Google map or some other free map platform if it's suitable (OSM?) I have an Android phone and I'd like to actually be able to:
(1) walk this route,
(2) take the GPS data somehow &
(3) match it up to a Google map to
(4) post it on my webpage.
That will help visitors know the actual route (which is not available on Google Maps in any detail) and have somewhat of a "guide" of the near-exact trail route. I imagine this can be done, as Runkeeper and other applications do this (with additional data on speed, time, etc.) for tracking your runs. I don't really want any of that additional data as much as I would like to just capture the GPS route itself, and have it in some format that I can then use to make a map out of automatically. Not sure where to start with this, or if it can be done easily. Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have no experience in Java; very limited Javascript and OK in HTML/CSS. I've never used the Google Maps API either.
Thanks!
You may use API Picker lists to help you on the most common things you may want to do on a map or with location-based data, and this also suggests the API that most suits your needs.
Listed below are the useful APIs to plot a route on a map:
Polylines in the Google Maps Android API
Polylines in the Google Maps SDK for iOS
Polylines in the Google Maps JavaScript API
Directions mode in the Google Maps Embed API
Paths in the Google Static Maps API (a web service)
Links of useful APIs for whatever you want to do on a map can be found in the documentation.
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 have a Google map on my application which at the moment shows services on the map like rail station and church etc. However unlike Google Maps (the official one), my one does not show commercial places in the area like McDonalds, Boots, Subway and Starbucks etc. etc.
I tried to research if this is something I must set on my map but could not find anything, can anyone tell me how to show commercial places on the map
Many thanks for reading
Use Places API to show Points of interest

I am building an Android application for showing a route from source to destination.
In the app, I am finding an optimal path compared to Google Maps path.
But for driving directions, I want an API which will shows the directions from source to destination turn by turn as shown in attachment.
Since I am creating my own path, I have a bunch of latitudes and longitudes from source to destination.
Is there any way I can use my own data(i.e latitudes and longitudes) and show it in the figure shown below?
You will have to use a non-google map for displaying the turn-by-turn directions, it's expressly forbidden in their TOS.
