I want to draw a route in windows phone 8.1 map control,but i dont want to use the routefinder service of the map control,instead i want to use google direction api.
I was thinking of making the route instance myself and filling the values myself but as the fields are readonly and classes are sealed i cant do that .
Is there a way to do it?
The terms of use of both Bing Maps and Google Maps do not allow mixing data between the platforms.

I am considering extending an application with HERE maps API calls (geocoding, routing, and maybe others). The application allows to select providers for different services and mix them. For example, using map tiles from one provider and showing search results from another one. I wonder, whether it is allowed to do so with HERE REST API call results. For example, show route polyline and use routing instructions from HERE and mix them with Mapbox GL tiles.
Question stems from https://legal.here.com/en-gb/terms/acceptable-use-policy, "Layering and Modifications" which seems to me prohibiting such use. In contrast, Is it possible to use here's Maps API combined with another base map (e.g., Bing, Google, OSM)? response states that it would be OK.
While I can make a separate profile that would enable HERE APIs only with HERE map tiles, I would prefer to allow users to mix providers as it is now. Currently, only HERE map tiles are supported, but those should allow me to layer other data on top, as far as I understand the allowed use terms.
In contrast to reply at Stack Overflow linked above, reply in Knowledge Base states that showing geocoding results on top of other providers tiles is prohibited.
We are using google Map API for plotting multiple location in android mobile application.
We want to use Waze MAP instead of google Map. Is that possible to use waze map and plot locations on it through my android application.
It's an old question, but I'll answer it anyway.
Waze provides a Transport SDK, but that doesn't include a way to embed the Waze map into your own application.
So I'm afraid that what you are asking is not possible at this time. In case you are only having one person using the app at the same time, you could consider adding the points as favorites on one account and just sharing that account. But I don't think it's possible to share a Waze account on multiple phones, nor is it possible to export and import multiple favorites at the same time as far as I'm aware.
I am developing a node.js application which (amongst other things) will recieve location information from remote users and allow them to interact with each other via the server.
I'm using the Google Tracks API because I like the idea of being able to track users when appropriate, set up geofencing to define my coverage areas and to visualise what's happening.
The Google tracks API documentation is reasonable, however I'm not sure how I would go about actually visualising the entities and geofencing I have setup on a map - this is not something that I can find covered elsewhere.
Ideally I would be able to simply embed a map into a webpage which could link with my Tracks API account and show all of the fencing and entities. Another nice feature would be the ability to 'draw' a geofence, is there anything out there which would allow this?
Thanks :-)
Tracks API does not currently offer any kind of server-side rendering for your Tracks data, so the best approach is to use the API to retrieve the crumbs (or just current location) and render them using polylines (or just markers) in the Google Maps API. You can similarly get all your geofences and render them using polygons.
Because this is done clientside, you'll probably want to limit your data to a reasonable number (depending on the browser/OS combination, something like O(thousands) of vertices).
All this assumes that your app meets the terms of service of the Maps API so check those out as well.
I have an account for Nokia Maps API but am wondering what URL I should use to request tiles through the API correctly? I am using the Leaflet maps API and my URL string looks like this:
http://3.maptile.lbs.ovi.com/maptiler/v2/maptile/newest/normal.day/{z}/{x}/{y}/256/png8?app_id=XXX&token=XXX
It works, but I don't believe I am using the API correctly - I just stole the first part of the URL (http://3.maptile.lbs.ovi.com/maptiler/v2/maptile/newest/normal.day) from the Network tab of dev tools when I checked out Nokia maps in my browser.
In the documentation it tells me I can request based on lat, long and zoom, but not based on X and Y.
Is anybody familiar with Nokia Maps API?
Regarding the original question I'm guessing you have acquired credentials for the Map Image API: http://developer.here.net/docs/map_image/index.html There are a series of interactive examples available, which explain how to get back a static map image using latitude and longitude such as this one here: http://developer.here.net/apiexplorer/examples/api-for-rest/getting-started/basic-map-wh.html All the urls for the Map image API start with http://m.nok.it
Using URLs for the map tiles from the http://here.com website isn't the same service, it isn't an official API (hence the reason it is undocumented) and the URLs could be changed without notice.
Updated
HERE now offers three web-based Maps APIs, and since last year a TMS (Tile Map Service) a.k.a. Map Tile API, which is what I think you are after is now publicly available.
As noted by Luciano Issoe, the correct URLs for the Map Tile API are now publically documented see: https://developer.here.com/rest-apis/documentation/enterprise-map-tile
Alternatively, if you want to use an interactive map service with Nokia's mapping data, your best bet would be to use the Maps API for Javascript described here:
http://developer.here.net/docs/maps_js/index.html
It seems that it´s a documented service now: https://developer.here.com/rest-apis/documentation/enterprise-map-tile
To retrieve a map covering a specific area using the Map Image API, add two points of interest to the map for the top right and bottom left corner and then use the nomrk to make the POIs invisible:

Below link is very helpful. I want to do extra but I can't. I want to draw route between 2 or more places like google does, in that source code it has only 2 places (Under 'Direction' Section).
Please help me and thanks in advance

Google Maps JavaScript API V3 allow map objects to store state and update their presentation automatically by implementing MVC objects.
Two of these may interest you in your project.
DirectionsService and DirectionsWaypoint.
Specifically you can use Waypoints to provide locations on the route. These waypoints can be made movable.
