Hi all,

a small bit of history, I have an existing application that currently runs on 
MS windows it is database of points of interest, the application has a lot of 
users, each of these users uses google with the street view option to find 
these places of interest then using the link button on the page they copy and 
paste the actual street view links into their databases, this in most cases is 
the proper image of the point of interest not a map view.

for example 

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=East+Ferry+Road,+Poplar&hl=en&ll=51.491084,-0.030985&spn=0.000053,0.058622&sll=51.491843,-0.007523&sspn=0.007642,0.029311&vpsrc=0&t=m&z=15&layer=c&cbll=51.491166,-0.014654&panoid=RH906-yvUj2Wv3WzjuXNWw&cbp=12,183.75,,1,1.82

these databases contain up to 20,000 links like the one above so moving over to 
another system really is not an option considering that most of the work is 
still carried out on the PC's and these links are moved onto the iPhone/iPad 
for review later.

I am not getting this to work properly in the UIWebview it is converting it 
into some sort of mapping app, this is not what I want it to do, I just want 
the UIWebview to display the URL I am passing and provide the results.

I don't mind if I have to shell out to safari but that does not seem to work 
either.

UIWebView

NSUrl nsurl = new NSUrl(_address);
NSUrlRequest req = new NSUrlRequest(nsurl);
HtmlViewer.LoadRequest(req);

openURL

UIApplication.SharedApplication.OpenUrl (new NSUrl (url));

I have tried both on the simulator and physical device, I know that Apple are 
moving away from google maps but this should still work as it is not really 
using the API as it it is web driven.

Any ideas.

thanks

Alex
