F F.Campanella Member Licensed User Longtime User May 1, 2017 #2 ... sorry i've passed wrong coordinates in previous example... if I pass correct coordinates the result is like in picture. Is possible to call Google Maps App instead of google maps in the browser? Attachments IMG_0575.PNG 85.5 KB · Views: 596 Upvote 0

David Meier Active Member Licensed User Longtime User May 13, 2017 #4 Hi F. With interest I read your solution. Now one question: What are you doing when a user hasn't installed the Google Map app? I did a short test and created an app with one menu item. When clicked on that menu item the call to comgooglemaps was fired. With the Google App installed, the result was nice. Without the Google App installed nothing happened at all. Regards David Upvote 0

David Meier Active Member Licensed User Longtime User May 14, 2017 #6 Thanks Erel! Meanwhile I realized that instead of <comgooglemaps> one can also use apple's map app. E.g. with Code: Copy App.OpenURL(http://maps.apple.com/?q=Bern) With this there is no risk. To my knowledge apple maps cannot be removed from the device, so it is always available to the user Upvote 0
