[android-developers] Launch Google Maps app
Hi, I'm trying to launch Google maps from my application. I'm using: GeoPoint center = _mapView.getMapCenter(); Uri uri = Uri.parse(geo:+center.getLatitudeE6() +,+center.getLongitudeE6()); Log.d(LOG_TAG, Launching Google Maps with Uri: (+uri+)); Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri); startActivity(intent); I tested it with a map centered on somewhere in NYC, however Google maps opens not centered there. I followed Android Developer's site reference to use: geo:latitude,longitude pattern. the log that you see prints: 03-31 13:01:20.126: DEBUG/CarMapActivity(248): Launching Google Maps with Uri: (geo:40763500,-73979305) anyone knows what can be the problem? thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
