  • Routing API – use the industry’s leading routing engine to calculate routes with advanced parameters such as traffic avoidance, eco routes, reachable range, time to leave, etc.

Maps Android SDK comes with the documentation and examples for the key features of map, search and routing as well as real code samples in Maps SDK Examples app. Use this source code in your own app to speed up development and get to market faster!
