I already had the set of gps coordinates and using those gps coordinates to display the vehicle where it was travelled at that time. I have to show the vehicle movement on google map as like a video.
I had build an vehicle tracking application, so for my application i have to show where the vehicles were travelled at a certain period of time. so for that i need to do a route playback, kindly help me to do this.

So, Imagine I have a car planning to travel some distance.
Is it possible to create a map on my web page, putting planned route (from location to location), my consumption of my car and it would tell me where I could fill it up again. But only via my preset location.
Could I use some of the API in google maps to create this?
Something similar to this would be Tesla route planner: https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/trips?redirect=no
You can start off with Maps JavaScript API's Directions Service which calculates directions between locations that also contains the distance and duration for the route.
Also check out the example here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/directions-simple
Hope this helps!
Based on a address/location/place I would like to check if this place has a floor plan or not in google maps. Unfortunately in couldnt find anything in the Google Place API or any other API from google maps.
Only when this place has a floor plan, google maps is shown .
Any ideas how I check if floor plan for a place? Any help would be appreciated.

Sal
The Indoor Maps are available in Google Maps Android API and iOS SDK , but not int he Google Maps API JS.
Please star this issue tracker FR to get notified when this gets implemented
There is no way to programatically check if a given location is "indoor enabled".
The closest you can to such a check is the getFocusedBuilding function which will get the current focused building or null if no building is focused (implying there is no indoor map)
Indoor maps
At high zoom levels, the map shows floor plans for indoor spaces such as airports, shopping malls, large retail stores, and transit stations. These floor plans, called indoor maps, are displayed for the 'normal' and 'satellite' map types (GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL and GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE). They are automatically enabled when the user zooms in, and they fade away when the map is zoomed out.
Indoor maps (floor plans) are available in select locations. If floor plan data is not available for a building that you would like to highlight in your application, you can:
Add floor plans to Google Maps directly. This will make your floor plans available to all users of Google Maps.
Display a floor plan as a ground overlay or tile overlay on your map. This will enable only users of your application to view your floor plans.
My requirement is, I have a set up of few IP cameras in a certain area. I have geo-location of each camera.All cameras are set-up in urban area. can I call these cameras on google-maps? is there any API for that ? i should get live feed, when I click on a particular camera .. Please help me
Google map not providing any API for controlling any type of hardware devices. If you want to control you have to set up everything yourself. Google map is an API for doing map or location operations like getting the latitude and longitude of a location, get the distance from one location to another, and a map view. In your case I don't think Google map can give any help.
You can start reading documentation of Google map from here
I am new to Android Development and need help desperately.
i am developing Google Map Application for Taxi Hailing.
i develop Prototype that how it will work with using Peer to Peer technology.
My challange:
i can show user and Taxi Driver location on map. but i do not know how to show Taxi location on map when user start His App.
I read lot of article but No result.
As i have little Idea that create a Virtual Pool on Server for Both applicaition and get Lat and Long from Taxi Location and store in Virtual Pool, from their get location and show on User's App. But no idea will it work or not.
can anyone please help me how i can Show Taxi location online on Google Map.
To show the users current location simply setMyLocationEnabled(true) on your GoogleMap object
To get the users current location see my answer to: Location servise GPS Force closed
My suggestion for storing taxi locations would be to use parse.com as the server side. Again, from the taxi (assuming you have a device there) use my implementation of GPSTracker to update the location on parse.com.
Now when the user open your app let it poll parse.com for taxi locations every, say 5 seconds (only while showing map that is).
In order to only show taxis that are nearby, you can use the users current location.
If there is few taxis, it is simplest to poll all locations and let the user device select those nearby, see my answer to Android Maps v2 - animate camera to include most markers.
Alternatively think as if you draw a square around the users position. Calculate the leftmost corner in top topleft=(lat_topleft, lon_topleft) and right corner in bottom botright=(lat_botright, lon_botright). Now you can do a search like, shown as SQL for demonstration, it is a bit different when working with parse.com:
SELECT taxilocations FROM taxis WHERE user_lat > topleft AND userlat < botright
Thereby only polling for taxis within the box drawn around the user.
This would be my take on it, hope it helps you.
I have a GPS device which populates data continuously. I need to show the movement on Google maps. Like for example user is moving from Phoenix to LA. I need show his movement with blue marker on google maps showing his movement along with path traveled.
Is it possible is there an Maps API that does it for me like: I keep pinging the new lat, long to Google maps. And google maps keep showing the advancing movement on the map.
You need to implement a LocationListener which will force you to implement 4 methods. One of those methods is the onLocationChanged this method, when your location changes will update and do something that you want. I guess you want to update and show your current location.
It is very important that you use requestLocationUpdates() and check this out:
