In my application I want to show route between two points and display points (something like POI's from my own source) the user will be riding through.
How can I get the directions (polyline) from GoogleMaps? Application will not provide any navigation so I suppose that there are no "leagal obstacles" for doing this (correct me please if I'm wrong).

I am developing maps application which has to support driving directions and route search and creation. But there is no API support in Android for this.
So i want to use google map APIs instead of Android APIs, Are there any APIs available for driving directions in google. If yes, What are those APIs, How can i use those APIs with Http request/response.
I read some where that earlier googlenav package was there in Android SDK, but it is now removed. May I know the reason for removal of this package, or When can i expect it to come back with fixed version of googlenav in Android? Looking forward to your reply.

Like if I know i'm going on a trip tomorrow and want to prepare for the trip, can i put in the addresses and get directions, then save? Also, can I save my HOME address? So whenever I'm anywhere, just say "home" and it route my destination?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there's an app out there that can track traffic patterns/route times. I know that those Runners apps. can track speed/time to destination, but I'm interested in being able to track which highways/roads have the most/least amounts of traffic on which days and at which times, or which roads cause you to wait the longest at certain lights, so that I can know in advance (the app. would alert me which route to take on which day according to data collected over time). I've always been kind of fascinated by traffic patterns, but I'm also a fairly focused driver, so I don't generally look at times it has taken me on different days. You can feel like taking a back way one day, but does it really save you any time with all the lights you hit instead?

I just want something where I can drive using the phone's GPS, and not have it interrupted by any texts during the trip. Then, after I'm done driving, have the texts arrive on the phone.
I did a few searches and couldn't really find what I was looking for.
I know, you can make short cuts, but they are a real pain (and unsafe) to use while driving. It would be great to long press on any number in the dialer and dial a selected number. By the way, I'm sure you've noticed if you select a number on the dialer, then press # a contact number on your SIM card appears. Not sure what the hell they were thinking of with that one...

On my other phone, a samsung galaxy s3 from verizon with android 4.3, there is a "driving mode". I thought it was a true android capability, but could it be a samsung feature instead ?In any case how do I get the Nexus 5 with Android 4.4 to do the same ? can I get it to do it using an NFC tag...
My name is Daniel Feldman and I am with the product group of an exciting new startup called Waze.
Waze is aiming to create the first user generated live driving map through the use of Smartphones. Our goal is to empower drivers to create, share and use real-time information (such as Traffic updates or road accidents) straight from their Smartphones. This has been both very popular and efficient in Israel, where we first began.
Waze is currently seeking 100 alpha users in the Bay Area who'll be the first users to participate in building this exciting project. In addition, if you have any other ideas, tips or suggestions, we would love to hear from you.
I need some help with tethering. I downloaded PDANET and not really sure how to use it. What I really want to do is use it for my XBOX 360. Also if I use tethering on my phone I know verizon wants you to pay for it. If I use this 3rd party application will it do anything to my account.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using Google Navi to take me somewhere I have never been before. It tells me to get on the freeway and then it says "Destination On My Right." I finally figure out where the place is after calling them. But that was weird.
I then get home and look up directions on Google Maps. It literally says:
7.Take the ramp on the left onto US-59 N
Destination will be on the right
I am using Google Maps on my PC to create a customized route to a destination. When I do a Google Directions search it charts out a route that I do not want to take.
So I use the drag and drop method to change the route on the map and save it to My Maps. When I log back into Google My Maps on my PC, it shows me the modified route and the correct turn by turn directions using the new route. So far so good.
But when I load Google Maps on my Droid and show the layer I just created which is the new route to my destination. It shows me the new route traced on the map, but does not give me the correct turn by turn directions. Instead it always forces me to search for and load the "default" directions that Google found in the first place that I do not want to use. It does this with Google Navigation as well.
Why doesn't it use MY directions that I just created on Google Maps on my PC ?
How can I create a new route to a destinatioin and save it so I can get turn by turn directions using that new route that I have chosen?
Is there anyway to get directions of two geopoints? and draw an overlay on the map?I can't seem to find the documentations about this. Can anyone help?

Would be happy to have them on my PC somewhere. I am imp/exp to SD etc etc but it keeps asking me for a vCard, which I do but where is that vCard stored, and how do I get my contacts to my PC either via the Vcard or via sync - I have tried syncing but the numbers stay the same? Surely it should be easier than this - all I want to do is get my numbers backed up for saftey.

Are there APIs for grabbing the voice (in both directions) during a call? I'm interested in whether it can be intercepted before it's sent out (outgoing) and before it's played by the speaker (incoming).

How can I do that? I thought about using a GridView but this doesn't seem to be useful in XML.

Is it possibly to have a button in my app that switches to the phone's Maps application while passing in a destination for directions? And how would I do that? Haven't been able to find anything about it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am new to the Android platform and after browsing various apps, I have been unable to find an app that can do what I would like. Simply put, I was wondering if an app existed that when a text message containing an address is sent to me, if I could simply click on it, and it would send the directions to Google maps/navigation, or any default GPS program.
Since I am unable to Copy the text with the default messaging program (EVO), I cant just copy and paste it into Google maps.
There's a route I take to my sisters place that is different than the Droid would have me drive. I swear I read or a friend told me there is a "save route" feature that once you finish driving your way, you can select which will help force it to take you that way in the future.
I can't find this, if it exists. No other GPS I've owned have had this feature, and I've often lamented, "wouldn't it be nice if it *knew* I wanted to take this road over that one." Only asking 'cause someone once told me this might be a feature. Am I way off or am I blind to finding it?
Driving me nuts trying to find a way to delete old locations. I read that since the maps update you can no longer delete history and the clear cache option is greyed out.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAnybody know how to "see title". After entering source and destination information via google maps, is there a way to forward the resulting directions whether it be via text, email, or otherwise to another person. Alternatively, is there a way to forward basic GPS location info via the same methods. I have not been able to find this option via HTC Footprints either.
