you can get [directions](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/intro) but [Navigation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/intents#launch_turn-by-turn_navigation) support is via google map application only. – Rahul Tiwari Oct 08 '15 at 08:27

I think you could use cross-platform to develop. Using html, js to develop is the easiest way. – Neo Oct 08 '15 at 08:29

If you don't wanty to use Google Maps app, you will have to implement your very own map logic using map view.
You can read map view documentation to lear how to use these api.
Using these approach you will be able to use any customization you want on your maps, BUT you will have to take care of every details.
