Google maps automatic start with address

[Matteo Rebulla]

I would like Tasker to perform this automatic action:

Starting Google Maps with a specified address at 3:00 pm on Mondays and Tuesdays

How can I do it?

Thank you,

Matteo Rebulla

You can use the AutoLocation Maps action to easily do that :) Hope this helps!

If you didn;t want to use a plugn there's also the open Map action (put the post / zip code in the address part and set the mode to Point.

You could add the above task to to a profile with the contitions:

Day Monday & tuesday
Time 15:00

Are you wanting to navigate to that address or just show it on a map?

[Duck Redbeard]

Profile: Nav At 3 (380)
Day: Mon or Tue
Time: 3:00PM
Enter: Nav To Tasker Street (330)
A1: Secure Settings [ Configuration:GPS Enabled Timeout (Seconds):0 ]
A2: Vibrate [ Time:200 ]
A3: Open Map [ Mode:Navigate To Address:1501 Tasker St, Philadelphia, PA 19145 Lat,Long: Zoom:1 Label: ]

This will navigate you. Change the address to your preferred location. In that step you have the option to navigate to, point to, or show street view of that address. Step A1 is there to automatically turn location to high accuracy using Secure Settings plugin. Root may be required. This prevents Android from reminding you to do it yourself if not already on. The vibrate step is optional.

You could take this further and have it navigate you to home IF you are leaving from work within a certain time frame on specific days. And send someone a message that you are on your way, and include your estimated arrival time in that message. Once it is setup correctly, all that is automatic.

Get a google maps URL (long or short form is up to your preference) and use that in a Task with the Action Net/Browser URL.

Test that the Task works ok. Then, attach that Task to a Time Profile to schedule the Task.

To navigate.

Thank you everyone!

To navigate, use System/Send Intent with the following parameters:

• Action
• android.intent.action.VIEW
• Cat
• Default
• Data
• google.navigation:q=<turn-by-turn navigation parms>
• you can read about the parms here (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/android-intents#launch_turn-by-turn_navigation)
• for example, if you want to bike to 350 West Georgia Street Vancouver BC Canada, use the following:
• google.navigation:q=350+west+georgia+street+vancouver+bc+canada&mode=b
• BTW, 350 West Georgia is the Vancouver Public Library. If you want to drive there instead and don't know the address, and want to avoid tolls and highways, use the following:
• google.navigation:q=vancouver+public+library&mode=d&avoid=tf
• read the developer's guide for info on the values for "mode" and "avoid"
• Package
• com.google.android.apps.maps
• Target
• Activity

Hope that helps.

You can also toggle GPS in the background using AutoTools. Check here. That way you can do it in the background, with the screen off :)
