I'm creating an App that will show the location of the user and put a marker to that position. After the user moves. The marker would be removed and a new marker would be created. Now. I want to make markers on Point A and Point B to be hardcoded into the app and show the route on the map. It shall use the nearest road on the map. I've done some research but only find old code which dated 5 years back. Could anyone be kind enough to guide me through this.
The Point A and Point B is on LocationChanged method.
