How It Works
Request Directions
When viewing an order, the app queries Google Maps API for directions from current location to delivery address.
Receive Route Data
The API returns the optimised route with turn-by-turn directions, estimated time, and distance information.
Display on Map
The route is visualised on the in-app map with waypoints, directions, and real-time position tracking.
Launch Navigation
Drivers can tap to launch their preferred navigation app with the destination pre-populated.

Why Choose Google Maps & Navigation APIs
Google Maps is the world's most accurate and comprehensive mapping service. By integrating with it, you're not trying to compete with Google-you're leveraging their investments in mapping, traffic data, and routing algorithms.
The flexibility to use different navigation apps is particularly valuable. Different drivers prefer different apps-some like Google Maps, others swear by Waze. Instead of forcing everyone to one app, give drivers choice. Your app handles the routing logic; drivers choose how they want to navigate.
Real-time traffic awareness is the feature that saves time and money. A route that looked efficient 10 minutes ago might now be congested. Real-time data helps drivers adapt instantly.
