The question is too vague. However, assuming you have the mapping toolbox, you probably want to use geoshow and/or geoplot.

Hello!

So what you need is to project that plot on a map.

On a google map? I don't know. What data can you get from google?

If you want to plot it on clean map, without having access to the mapping toolbox, then have a look at the answer given here ( link )

Now, I have mapping toolbox then how to plot those data on a simple map. Actually, this data is my road campaign data so I want to plot on the map. like this...

Please help

I'll give you two options and then you can choose depending on your desired output.

First option uses the mapping toolbox and is the most flexible and clean option. You will use the functions worldmap() and geoshow(). Worldmap gives you an empty grid using geocoordinates.

worldmap('India') %or
worldmap([LATmin LATmax],[LONmin LONmax])

You then use geoshow() to display whatever you want on this grid. Geoshow uses shapefiles with the extension .shp, which can be downloaded from various sources, such as diva-gis.org. I downloaded the Indian borders (IND_adm0.shp) and complete road network (IND_roads.shp). Plot together with your own data by e.g.:

LandArea=geoshow('IND_adm0.shp')
RoadNetwork=geoshow('IND_roads.shp')
Data=geoshow(Lat,Lon,'displaytype','line')
set(Data,'color',[1 0 0],'linewidth',2)

Using geoshow, you can also get textures, location of major cities etc. It's a very flexible option to produce maps without a lot of unnecessary details.

The next option uses google data. It does not require the mapping toolbox, is extremely simple to use but can be a bit buggy. It requires the FileExchange function plot_google_map() ( link )

figure;hold on
plot_google_map('MapScale', 1) 
plot(Lon,Lat)

There you have it, I've uploaded a figure of the output by the second option.
