I am creating app to only show information about me, I wanna show the location on the map, then user can go from the mapview to the google maps to navigate if he wanted.
So, I dont wanna navigate, i dont wanna use maps api, i dont wanna use api key. I just want to show a mapview then user can switch from the mapview to google maps.
is that possible ?
API_KEY is the way of Google to track number of Users using Map API and also promote new features and updates. I don't find any reason why you don't want to use API_KEY.
Follow this tutorial which has Graphic content to use API_KEY to generate Maps.
