I expected it to be possible to get directions/draw a route between two points

  • 0

I expected it to be possible to get directions/draw a route between two points using Google Maps for Android (please note: Google Maps, NOT Google Navigation).

I just got the "com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap" (using MapFragment) to work, but I don’t see any methods for drawing/getting a route between two points. So I am suspecting that this cannot be done.

Can someone verify or deny this? =)

PS: I know about "Google Navigation". It works to use an Intent to get a route there, but the problem is I cannot get it to be "inline" in my app, which in a way isn’t ideal. So I was looking at Maps instead.

    Use a Polyline to draw the route.

    "Getting a route" was not part of Maps V1 and is not part of Maps V2. You will have to find some Web service that will give you route information.

    Also, I strongly encourage you to have qualified legal counsel review the terms and conditions for using Maps V2, to confirm that what you are trying to do is within the bounds of that agreement, which has specific clauses related to providing navigation assistance.
