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:
Launching Google Maps with Uri: (geo:40763500,-73979305)
anyone knows what can be the problem?
