Apps Building a app with navigation
- Thread starter Hent
- Start date
No didnt try Waze, but after looking on there website it looks like a normal navigation app, without the possibility to implement it in my own app.
Just to be clear, the goal is:
Building my own app. The app loads addresses/locations and if the user wants to navigate to it, the user can click on a "navigate to" button. Now there should be a frame of a navigation app in my app, that navigates to a location that is given by code. So the app doesnt close and open up a another app (like Waze, Sygic, Maps etc.). Is there any way for realizing this without building your own navigation program?

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but waze has similar functionality. If you have a contact with address in your phone, you can navigate to their house/office by hitting the waze icon in their contact record. You can search places/addresses within waze, create favorite locations, etc.
I'm not trying to discourage you from making an app, just making sure that you are not duplicating effort.

Thank you for your help, but it is not as simple as that.
The locations to navigate to are downloaded from a database and are thousands, adding all those to my contacts is not a real possibility. Besides the app is supposed to do more than only navigate to locations, for example storing some data (locations) while driving.
I searched a while but still didnt find any way to do this, without making your own navigation app.
