Google maps suggest own path, every time user navigate google maps with stops through launch navigator

[Astha-Anand]

Bug report

Current behavior:

When navigate to google maps with selected stops using launch navigator, it suggest its own path and not the one we passed with launch navigator.

Expected behavior:

It should not suggest different paths on google maps, should only show the points we passed through launch navigator. Problem is google map not following path as the path in our app.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Bike rider redirected to google maps with 20+ selected stops through launch navigator
2. On google maps it show a different path not same as in app map

This is an exact duplicate of #245. I have already made it clear that this behaviour is internal to the Google Maps app and this plugin has no control over it. Do not open another duplicate issue or you will be banned.

I also tried to check the same thing. I don't find any option to control GMaps behaviorfrom this plugin. That is something related to Google map. They don't allow this too!
