'Is there a way to trigger an external event or app when Google Maps says "You have arrived"?
Is there a way to hook the "You have arrived" event in the Google Maps android app?
The Maps API can do this, but only if I recreate a lot of the functionality of the Android app, which is a lot of wheel to re-invent just to catch a single event.
Has anybody done anything similar.
The end result is that I want to toss a record into a database and start customer billing when arriving at the customer's location.

It turns out that there actually is an external API for "You have arrived" and a number of other map events.
However it's only available to "select customers" with a note to "contact sales", which seems to put it out of reach for individuals.
