Right now, I’m launching the Google Maps application with the following call:

String geoAddress = "maps.google.com/maps?q=";
geoAddress += LatLong[0] + "," + LatLong[1];    
Intent i = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(geoAddress));
startActivity(i);

Which will open and place a marker at the specified position on the map. I have two questions:

1) How can I place multiple markers of which I have the Longitude/Latitude?

2) How can I start the Maps application to other modes (terrain/satellite/etc.)?

Thanks!
