Is it possible to draw the route and direction between two points using the location of two points?

Hi @Ali Maleki Lonbar ,
In the example I provided above, when you enter the start and end points, the route and direction will be displayed.

So what does your requirement mean? please explain in detail.

Hi @Ali Maleki Lonbar ,
Does the code I provide meet your needs? If so, you only need to add the WebBrowser control to the form, then paste the code into the Form_Load event.
If not, please explain in details.

I want to map the latitude and longitude from the database myself and show the desired location. How is this possible?

Hi @Ali Maleki Lonbar ,
I made a simple test you can refer to.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
{  
    // You can get latitude and longitude from the database  
    string longitude = textBox1.Text;  
    string latitude = textBox2.Text;  
    try   
    {  
        StringBuilder query = new StringBuilder();  
        query.Append("http://maps.google.com/maps?q=");  
        if (longitude!=string.Empty)   
        {  
            query.Append(longitude+","+"+");  
        }  
        if (latitude != string.Empty)  
        {  
            query.Append(latitude);  
        }  
        webBrowser1.Navigate(query.ToString());  
    }  
    catch (Exception ex)   
    {  
        MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());  
              
    }  
}

Hi AliMalekiLonbar-2401,
You can achieve it via WebBrowser control.
Here is a simple code:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
{  
    // UpdateGoogleMap();  
    StringBuilder queryAddress = new StringBuilder();  
    // Open locally stored html file in webbroswer control.  
    //  queryAddress.Append("C:\\GMtest\\GoogleMapsV3.html");  
    //Open Google's map  
    queryAddress.Append("https://www.google.com/maps/dir/");  
    this.webBrowser1.Navigate(queryAddress.ToString());  
}

And there are more methods has been provided in the threads below you can refer to.
