Android Question Embed navigation in a App

[imbault]

Hi everybody,

To run an navigation Intent with an Address, there is no problem with B4A:

           ' let's the user choose his navigation app
            dim geouri= "geo:?q=" & adress as string
            Log(geouri)
          
            mapIntent.Initialize(mapIntent.ACTION_VIEW,geouri)
            mapIntent.SetComponent("googlemaps")
            StartActivity(mapIntent)

I just wanted to know if it possible to embed a navigation "client" (like Google Maps, Waze or Here) in a APK in order to have kind of interaction:
When you get close to the destination address
When you arrive to the dest address.

You cannot embed other apps inside your app. You can use GoogleMaps library to show a map inside your app.

You can show a route on the map and also have a list of all the segments and instructions of the itinerary. But turns these informations in a real voice driven navigator it's really an hard job.
