https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/android-intents

Check this page in the documentation. You can get lat/long directly from the OS. You can then create a map intent. Any app listening to this can then be launched by the user. Like if you tap on a location link in whatsapp you will see GMap, Uber, Zomato etc as eligible apps. All this is free.

Now if you want to resolve the GPS coord to a place on map and show that address, you will need Google Places/Geocoding API. This will be paid. If you want to show a static map within your app, it will again be paid. You want to show navigation within the app like the delivery agent tracking within Swiggy, you need to pay Google.

You can add maps and current location for free but if you want to search for some location or want to put a waypoint to some other location, it will require api subscription which is charged based on number of wieries

You can just give it a try by adding maps and trying out the things. You just need a api key which you can use it to try it, after some attempts it will ask you to pay
