Q&A for How to Change the Route on Google Maps on Android

Currently, this is not something Google Maps is capable of supporting! If you wish to use a specific route not given, there are a few things you can do: either add a stop along that route or begin driving/walking along that route (Maps will automatically adjust accordingly).

If you have a specific route in mind, you can add a stop along that route to your trip. Google Maps should then reroute you.

Here is a step by step directions on how to use the Google Maps application on iPhone and Android: Open the App. Select your starting destination (enable location services for Google to select your location automatically). Select your ending destination. Select Go. This should recalculate your new route on Google Maps on iPhone and Android.

You can click it. And see if the color change and the time. Sometimes is possible that Google Maps can't find another way and so you need to choose the blue route.
