The standard Google Maps App provides a facility to share your position with a third party by reference to their email address.

Is it possible to emulate this function in code using the API, substituting a manipulated position?

Is there a Api for that? I can´t remember seeing one.

@DM.... Me neither! I was referring to the Google Maps API..... perhaps exposing the functionality (if it is there) by a JavaObject method?

The question is a bit of a longshot on my part and I suspect the answer is no however.... just asking!

@DM I think you misunderstand the question.

If I was aware of a method to call from the documentation I would use it. I am asking if any method or workaround is known to the community that will allow me to invoke the functionality provided by 'share my position' in the Google Maps app. As I have already stated I suspect the answer is no. I have been asked to look into it..... so I am just posing the question here to ensure there is nothing I may have missed.
