This may be a stupid question, but here it goes. Is Google Maps a standard (and pre-installed) application on every android phone? I am writing a map application and using a mapview to plot several points near a given zip code. I got that working. If Google maps is pre-installed on every phone, then i can just theoretically send Google maps my two points and it will take care of the rest, correct? Or will i have to go old school and program all driving directions myself?
How are you distributing your application? If you are distributing it via the official Android Market, its pretty safe to assume Google Maps will be present. Any device without Google Maps, probably doesn’t have Google’s seal of approval and won’t have the market app either.
