Answer 1

This is code which is now working fine for get direction. I am answering here so that other will get how to use it

- (IBAction)onClickNavigate:(id)sender {

NSString *strWayPoints = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f,%f", [[destLatArray objectAtIndex:0] doubleValue], [[destLongArray objectAtIndex:0] doubleValue]];
for(int j=0;j<destLatArray.count;j++){
    if(j > 0)
        strWayPoints = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@|%f,%f", strWayPoints, [[destLatArray objectAtIndex:j] doubleValue], [[destLongArray objectAtIndex:j] doubleValue]];

}
NSString *originString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f,%f",[sourceLat doubleValue], [sourceLong doubleValue]];
NSString *destinationString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f,%f", [[destLatArray objectAtIndex:0] doubleValue], [[destLongArray objectAtIndex:0] doubleValue]];

NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=%@&destination=%@&waypoints=%@",originString,destinationString,strWayPoints];

if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:
    [NSURL URLWithString:@"comgooglemaps://"]])
{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:str]];
}
else
{
    NSLog(@"You haven't installed the google map");
}

}

You should use Google Maps URLs that provides universal cross platform syntax to open maps in mobile apps or Google Maps website.

In directions mode, you can specify the origin, destination and multiple waypoints for your route. For more details have a look at the following page:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/guide#directions-action

Example of URL:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=18.518205,73.857431&destination=18.518205,73.857431&waypoints=18.518205,73.857431%7C18.552248,73.901596%7C18.629764,73.934685

I hope this helps!
