[android-developers] Re: Launch navigation app with an Intent - [DS]
You could use something like this: Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=20.344,34.34daddr=20.5666,45.345;)); startActivity(intent); You can use an actual street address instead of latitude and longitude. However this will give the user a dialog to choose between opening it via browser or Google Maps. If you are in the US, you could use an unofficial way (Since it isn't official, I don't recommend using it). This will fire up Google Maps in navigation mode. Haven't played with it since where I live it isn't available. Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(google.navigation:q=an+address+city); If you want to get rid of the dialog you can give the intent a hint as to which package you want to use. Before the startActivity() add this: intent.setClassName(com.google.android.apps.maps, com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity); On Saturday, December 12, 2009 3:18:20 AM UTC+5:30, Declan Shanaghy wrote: Hello, I realize this might not be the proper place to post this since it's not Android specific, but rather its about integrating with a google app. I've been trying to find some documentation on launching / controlling the Google Navigation app via Intents or otherwise.

Can't find anything out there, so I'm still not even sure if it can be done. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Launch navigation app with an Intent - [DS]
This code will work on any SDK. What matters here is the version of google maps that is on the device. The navigation features were added in google maps version 3.2.1 as far as i know.
