I would like to know how could I create a custom application for Android Auto. Nowadays, I know I can create “media” and “notification” Android Auto apps, but I would like to have a custom app (with a custom service), because I would like to create a google assistant flow and modify the map.
GOOGLE ASSISTANT NEW FLOW
I would like to get custom responses for some request by voice, because I would like to ask an appointment by Google Assistant. I have just seen an Android Auto notification app. With those methods I can send and replay some message, but it’s not a new or custom Google Assistant dialog. How could I create a new app with a new google assistant voice flow.
Please, if somebody have a custom Android Auto app example to learn it, I would appreciate so much! :D
MAPS
In addition, I don’t know if I could edit Google Maps for remark some custom places in the map from my Android app, or if it’s necessary create my own map in my application. I’m not sure if when I ask to Google Assistant it’ll works my custom Google Map or it will show me the standard Google Maps (without my remarkable places).
I NEED CREATE SOMETHING LIKE THIS —>

Thanks in advance for your help!
That's an interesting question.
Based on https://designguidelines.withgoogle.com/android-auto/custom-apps/custom-app-anatomy.html it is supposed to be possible to develop custom applications.
But when you create a project in Android Studio it is only possible to create messaging and audio applications (at least those are the public templates that are offered).
I have been looking about that and I have found some interesting answers from people answering the same question:
Android Auto custom apps - Official
Build Custom App for Android Auto
Can I make any apps for Android Auto?
https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/2998734?hl=en
So based on this answers it is not possible to develop custom applications unless that you have the another SDK to do that. And if you get that SDK you need to be a Google partner to publish them.
If anyone knows another way to develop custom applications or how to get that another SDK, it would be great to know.

there,
Does Google Map API V3 include solution that allows to track moving assets without us having to develop additional mobile apps (apps to be installed on each asset to be tracked)?
My company is a Google Maps APIs Premium plan business user and we have several .Net C# web pages already using Google Map API. And we are looking for the possibility to add a moving-assets-tracking feature on our website now, but we prefer not to get into mobile app developments for this.
If that possible? I googled, but not seeing much info on this. Could you please provide some detailed examples?
Thanks!
Asset tracking is possible with Google Maps Platform, but I don't think this is possible without installing an application to the asset being tracked as there
could be no means to track it.
By V3, if you are referring to JavaScript API then it is not possible.
You may read about asset tracking in this documentation:
https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/asset-tracking/
Contacting sales team for Google Maps might be able to provide you something. But this is still unsure. The contact sales form can be found in the link above.
I'm having trouble figuring out how do I open a tab of google maps or google maps app on my app within the unity, and can't afford to buy the Asset for facilitating, what do I do? is there any other site or application that I can use and be easier?
You would have to use AndroidJavaClass and AndroidJavaObject API to construct common map intents: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-common.html#Maps
There are plenty examples out there how to use AndroidJavaClass and AndroidJavaObject e.g. how to create a share intent. These are very similar for maps.
I'm new to both iOS programming & the Google Maps iOS SDK, so apologies if this is a basic question.
I want to include a Google map, in an app and give users the ability to search for various places (restaurants, bars, gyms, etc) within a certain radius of a marker.
I know this is possible using the javascript api, but can it be done using the maps iOS SDK? I have read all of the information here and have searched Stack Overflow & Google but I can't really find anything that gives me any pointers.
Within the documentation, Google say that using a URL Scheme you can launch a native iOS app and pass in parameters for searches, directions etc. Is this what I need to be using, or is that more tailored to a webapp?
Any help, advice, or pointers to tutorials (other than the ones provided by Google) would be massively appreciated.
Cheers
The Google Maps URL Scheme can currently only be used to open the Google Maps app to search for a location or for directions. It can't search for places. Also, if your own app did this, then it would shut down your app and switch to the maps app, which may not be what you want. It will also only work if the user has installed the Google Maps app.
You would probably want to use the Google Places API to make http requests from your native app. You can request a response in either JSON or XML format. Then you'll need to parse the response, and use it to add markers to a GMSMapView using the Google Maps SDK for iOS.
This blog post describes this library which the blog post's author wrote to wrap the Google Places API. You wouldn't need most of this code, but it might give you an idea of where to start. This class is the main one which handles the requests to the places API.
Note that this library uses a third-party JSON parser - SBJsonParser. As of version 5.0 iOS includes a native JSON parser, NSJSONSerialization. So if your app's minimum supported iOS version is 5.0 or higher, you don't need to use a third-party library.
The iOS/Android app I am building requires a map component and just wondering what experts here would recommend using?
The app is being developed using pure AS3 and come across MapQuest. I only really need to be able to drop multiple markers and click markers for information. No directions, search etc.
Thanks
You might consider using a StageWebView instance with the HTML version of Google Maps.
You should be able to find helpful articles on the web. Sample: http://www.igorcosta.org/?p=350
Anyway, this might get tricky. :-/
I think Google Maps is still a good idea, but I’m not sure if it will work on mobile:

Beware that Google Maps API for Flash is deprecated.
Note (form Google Maps API page):
The Google Maps API for Flash has been officially deprecated as of September 2, 2011. The API will continue to work until September 2, 2014. We encourage you to migrate your code to version 3 of the Maps JavaScript API.
If not, you'll probably have to create a native extension.
I want to create a web application which makes use of Google maps.
Features are quite simple:
Users can login (best with FB connect)
Users can post items which are geolocated
UI consists mainly of a google map with all items
I'm looking for something implemented where you would only have to specify the nature of your items.
Any ideas?
If you're not going to make money off of it, you can use ESRI's Javascript API for free:
