I have a button in my app that is the intended to launch a specific location (GPS coordinates) in the Google Maps app (I know, later I'll change it to launch Apple Maps, but my stakeholders are insistent on doing it this way for now). I wrote some code that puts together an appropriate Google Maps URL and then uses the NSUrl methodology to launch Google Maps with the correct location pinned. It works great, except that what happens is that when you tap the map button, Safari starts to launch and *then* the Google Maps app launches.
I think this makes sense. I'm passing a url to NSUrl, so naturally Safari starts to launch, and then Safari's default behavior when passed a Google Maps address is to launch the Google Maps app. I don't think it's a big deal, but the split second where Safari almost launches bothers my stakeholders. Is there a way I can launch Google Maps and pass it GPS coordinates from within my app *without* having Safari try to launch first? --Chris -- View this message in context: http://monotouch.2284126.n4.nabble.com/Opening-a-GPS-location-in-the-Google-Maps-app-tp4655724.html Sent from the MonoTouch mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ MonoTouch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monotouch
