Open Map Intent's URI

[V Oz]

Hi Pent.

Would You say what intent's format is used in Open Map action?

In google documentation I found "geo:lat,long?z=zoom" only (and couple with address) 

In Open Map action there is Label field which appears in the Google Map as Flag.

Google around, there are many. It's complicated to explain the ones
that Tasker
constructs.

Yeap. If it helps anybody.

Browse URL "geo:0,0?q=%LOC (%label)" with google maps opens map with %label at that point. But it tries to search - so, network connection required. though, it's applicable for me.

Vladimir, thank you for posting this it is exactly what I was looking for however I've done a lot of searching and I cannot figure out how to set the zoom control with this URI. The ' ?z=10 ' does not work, 1 phone recommended ' &z=10 ' unfortunately I could not get this to work either. I was hoping you could possibly shed some light on this.

Thanks for any info you could supply, Rich..

AAAAARG...  ' Dam you google groups ' 
Sorry for the double post, it did not seem to include the quoted text. This was in reference to--

" Yeap. If it helps anybody. Browse URL "geo:0,0?q=%LOC (%label)" with google maps opens map with %label at that point. But it tries to search - so, network connection required. though, it's applicable for me "

Thanks again,  RICH..

Ohh. it depends on navigation program. the Yandex Mobile Maps gets geo:// scheme as this:

geo:%LOC?z=13&q=(%label)

I've didn't try zoom with google maps - it makes autozooming (I can be wrong)

Thanks for the reply, I actually do not think you can use the zoom with this particular search URI for google maps. I found a few others looking for the same on Google and no one seems to be able to do it. However I did find. A work around that worked even better than what I was attempting to do. I simply sent a intent with this.

" geo:0,0?q=%Loc(%tap_index)"

   leaving out the label name forces google maps to show the marker with  the street address ( or whatever it thinks should be relevant ) then I set a 3 sec wait then send another intent with.

" geo:%Loc?z=13"

This will now set the zoom to 13 and leave the marker but remove the label for a better view of the map so i end up with a brief flash of the street address then the zoom is set and just the marker remains.. Perfect for this application... 

Thanks again for the help..   Rich..

Oops, just to be clear for others the first intent i send contains this URI
