Is there a way to start maps or navigation application programmatically on Windows Mobile

  • 0

Is there a way to start maps or navigation application programmatically on Windows Mobile (6.5)?

I am looking for something similar to Android where you can pass location encoded into uri to view and the system will then automatically start whatever application can handle the uri.

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(“google.navigation:q=” + mLat + “,” + mLon));
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(i);

Is there a way to do something similar in Windows Mobile?

I have a device with both Google Maps and TeleNav GPS installed, but I don’t know how to start either of them programmatically or how to pass arguments.

Thanks for any information.

    As far as Google Maps, all you should have to do is start the web browser with the right URL.

    The trick is to find an appropriate browser
