Android Question Intent to Google Maps Go [Solved]

[AHilberink]

Hi,

Does anyone know the Intent to start Google Maps Go?

I can only find the Intent to Google Maps.

Kind regards,
André

1. Make sure that Google Maps Go is the only Maps app installed on your device.
If there are other maps apps installed, select Google Maps go when prompted.
2. Add following code

    Dim MapIntent As Intent
    Dim uri As String = $"geo:${latitude},${longitude}?q=${address}"$
    uri=su.DecodeUrl(uri, "UTF8")
    MapIntent.Initialize(MapIntent.ACTION_VIEW, uri)
    StartActivity(MapIntent)

Thanks for this code. I already had this possibility to choose.
I did not ask the correct question, sorry.

What I was looking for is the SetPackage of Maps Go.

I use for GoogleMaps this code:

in.SetPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps")

Is there also one for Go? All information I could find was of the normal GoogleMaps.

Kind regards,
André

Try package name: com.google.android.apps.mapslite
It didn't work for me.

User only needs to select once Always Google Maps Go

That did the job. Great. Thanks.

It worked for me. I did add:

AddManifestText(<queries>
    <package android:name="com.google.android.apps.mapslite" />
  </queries>)

to my manifest. Not sure it was neccesary, but I had a simular for Maps.
