I'm trying to figure out the URL Scheme to to trigger Google maps to open right to the spot where you can review a business.
Tried everything from
comgooglemaps://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJ3TEKFllwcVMRGzGat2nA7H4
And
comgooglemaps://?q=Southland+Technical+Services+LTD,+5708+1+St+SE+%232,+Calgary,+AB+T2H+2W9&ludocid=9145896503567069467#lrd=0x53717059160a31dd:0x7eecc069b79a311b,3
But none of these appear to work. It works as normal URL in a web browser but in iOS app of Google maps it doesn't.
Does anyone have any ideas?

hello im hosting Google maps API on my localhost for now, and it appears fine in Chrome and the mobile phone version. (both safari and chrome iPhone versions).
My problem is Google maps doesn't show when it comes to my Mac version of Safari. the Grey(background) shows and the cursors change to the Google maps cursor, but the map and content doesn't display. what can be the problem?
Here is a link to the map. as you can see the map displays in Chrome but not in safari.(at least not for me).

there is no guarantee that navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition will return a result. The user may deny the permission or the geolocation-service may not be able to locate the user.
You better initialize the map with a default-center (center is required to display the map).
I find the solution after 1 hours , it's because my website (developpement) was in http and not https :) Safari will ask your localisation.
I made this static map image-link to put on our website. The map works in Chrome on Mac OS 10.6.8 but it doesn't show on iOS7.1. Ive tried both on iPhone 4s and iPad2. The only thing I get on iOS7 is a blank square.
If I paste the link in the Safari adress-field on my iPad I can see the map.
here's the link:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=62.388298,17.316515&zoom=15&size=300x300&scale=2&markers=color:red%7C62.388298,17.316515&maptype=roadmap&sensor=false&key=
Since I havent managed to figure this out myself Ive currently made a clickable link for iOS/Android users but Im not sure if Im supposed to do that..
thx
Why not using the maps api v3? I get the follwing error in chrome on windows:
The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key.
On v3 of the maps api you don´t need a key.
Eventually this solves your problem.
I have tag used to load the google map in my web site. All browser load the google map Successfully , Except google chrome Version 30.0.1599.69 . how to fix this issue in Google chrome 30.0.1599.69 ? give me suggestion .
Sample code:
I'm a Google trusted photographer and this issue is a big problem for my clients.
before the issue was solved, you could use the maps api. I did this little tool : http://visitevirtuelle.odoxo.fr/bug-de-chrome-30-et-des-iframe-de-google-maps/ to replace the google iframe by a modified one, it works for Streetview and business photo (and really simple maps).
It could help.
I wish to make a link in my mobile website that will trigger a location based application (as waze or google maps) to open in location.
the following html code:
go to location
working great with android browsers, but not working with iphone (using safari or chrome)
How can it be done to work with iphone/ipad browsers?
To open google maps on ios you have to use a specific url scheme (specific for each application, if provided) for example the following will call google maps :
comgooglemaps://?daddr=%f,%f&saddr=%f,%f&mrsp=0&ht=it&ftr=0", contactPosition.latitude, contactPosition.longitude, myPosition.latitude, myPosition.longitude
and this wil open waze :
waze://?ll=37.331689,-122.030731&navigate=yes
In both cases to have this working the user, obviously, should have the apps installed.
I read somewhere (I've forgotten where) that it is now possible to link to the native Google Maps iOS app from the mobile Safari browser by using the maps:// protocol and that the app will now allow the importation of a KML file. I have tried several different linking URLs but I can't seem to get any of them to work. Does anyone know the correct format of this URL using the maps:// protocol with a KML file? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
As far as I see there is no such option.
Apple Developer Documentation on Map Links
You can start the Google Maps iOS native app by just redirecting to the Google Maps website:
Cupertino
Regarding the KML the native app will not pick it up (from the link above):
The rules for creating a valid map link are as follows: ...
A parameter cannot be q=* if the value is a URL (so KML is not picked up). ...
Apple URL Scheme Reference: Map Links
http://maps.apple.com/?q=cupertino
Note: since iOS 6, you have to convert all map requests from "maps.google.com" to "maps.apple.com" for the iOS map to activate.
Starting in iOs 6, you should link via HTTP to maps.apple.com, such as:
http://maps.apple.com/?daddr=San+Francisco,+CA&saddr=cupertino
If accessed from a non-iOs device, that link currently redirects to the equivalent Google Maps search. In the future, Apple might do a web-based map viewer of their own.
