Is there a way to use Google Map to navigate the Path from one place to another?


No.

Though someone else has a solution, see https://www.blogto.com/city/2018/07/you-can-finally-navigate...

I had a solution that involved using scanning nearby WiFi APs as a kind of hash for your location (since GPS doesn't work for most of the PATH).

But Android has been locking down the WiFi scanning APIs, so that idea is a no-go. Plus the additional rules for developing Android apps in recent years isn't dev friendly.


There's an app called "toronto path"[1] for iphone, it's pretty good.
