Does the API give access to bike trails in Google maps? I need to be able to display existing bike maps on both Android and ios apps
There is no biking layer currently in maps v2, the only thing you can do is get biking directions.

I'm building google maps mobile application using google maps API v2 and I managed to draw a route between two locations. The problem is that I want to show all the possible routes to the direction location not just one. Can you help me, please?
I'm using Android Studio.
I am converting an Android app which uses Google Maps and the given longitude and latitude. I want to port the app to iOS and was thinking which maps system was better, either the native from Apple or the Google SDK. Apart from that I have some POI in Google which I would like to show also on the iOS equivalent.
Question is: Are the two coordinate system equal? So if I would put them on a map they would show the same location either on MapKit or Google Maps SDK.
sounds like the China GPS shift problem to me... otherwise, both Google Maps and Apple Maps (Tom Tom) should be in WGS84.
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.
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...
Halo guys,i found that the google map apps can show indoor floor plan with stores name,
but as i just implement google map v2 into my Android apps, it only shows floor plan without stores, is it possible to show details like the google map apps?
second, is there a indoor routing system in google map v2 for indoor map? e.g. shop a to shop b in same building same floor, and more if same building different floor?
thanks!!
No. You only get the basic outlines of the stores, not the names and such with indoor maps. Also there is no routing period in Google maps.
