Re: Opening Gaia Through Links

[Andrew Johnson]

Hi Arnold,

Good question and good idea!

I have now made a wiki page that documents the couple of URLs you can use to open Gaia now: http://www.gaiagps.com/wiki/links_to_open_gaia

If you have any thoughts on other useful URLs, please let me know.

Also, I will make a note to let you create a waypoint with the lat/lon URL - we'll add an optional parameter to say whether you want to save a waypoint or not. I also planned to add an optional parameter to let you choose the map type to open to.

Regards,

Andrew

I was glad to see that Gaia GPS will now support opening through a link, with the example being given as gaiagps://map?lat=35&lng=-116&z=12.    I would like to use this to open Gaia through another app that I use (geosphere) as a database for certain locations.   I can open Gaia to the latitude and longitude without a problem using your example as a template.

To make it work for me, however, I would like to create a waypoint at the specific location that is being opened.  In other words, to be able to open Gaia on the fly and see the point on the map, which is what happens when I open the native maps app, google, or other apps through links.

The work around I have found is to drop a waypoint pin when Gaia opens, which seems to work, but is there a way to do this automatically?  Do you have a full list of the supported command lines to open Gaia?

Like Arnold, I'm also glad to be able to automatically open Gaia GPS by using a link out of Geosphere. But then I have to drop the marker pin manually and always wonder if it lands on the right coordinates.

Having that optional parameter to create the pin thru the URL would be great!! And maybe even to specify it's color and/or shape!!

Thanks for a great app, and I'm really looking forward to the next update!

Thanks, would you mind making an idea here. I have an internal note on this, but it would be good if it was being tracked publicly: http://help.gaiagps.com/forums/118985-ideas-for-gaia-gps
