android - How we can read Google Maps turn by turn Navigation instructions?

Question

I need to read the Turn by turn navigation data for my project . The direction api doesn't fulfil my requirement. Please suggest some way to read the data directly from Google Maps App. I want to launch navigation in Google Maps app only , and then read it in my app.

Answer 1

Google Maps API Terms of Service have a restriction regarding route guidance. Particularly paragraph 10.4.c (iii) states

No navigation. You will not use the Service or Content for or in connection with (a) real-time navigation or route guidance; or (b) automatic or autonomous vehicle control.

Additionally, you have to pay attention to other restrictions that might be violated in your use case

Paragraph 10.1 a

No access to APIs or Content except through the Service. You will not access the Maps API(s) or the Content except through the Service. For example, you must not access map tiles or imagery through interfaces or channels (including undocumented Google interfaces) other than the Maps API(s).

Paragraph 10.5 d

No caching or storage. You will not pre-fetch, cache, index, or store any Content to be used outside the Service, except that you may store limited amounts of Content solely for the purpose of improving the performance of your Maps API Implementation due to network latency (and not for the purpose of preventing Google from accurately tracking usage), and only if such storage: is temporary (and in no event more than 30 calendar days); is secure; does not manipulate or aggregate any part of the Content or Service; and does not modify attribution in any way.

So Google discourage the thing that you try to implement.
