I am trying to mark a location on map using a link in Windows 10 app.
Tried using urlscheme maps:q=<location> and geo:0,0?q=<location> for anchor tag <a></a>.
Both of the URL scheme launches the Map app installed in device, but the location is not getting marked on the map.
I tried geo:0,0?q=<location> for Android and maps:q=<location>for iOS which is working fine.
Got it!
For windows we can use the Bing map app
URL Scheme for searching and marking a location on map in Windows is 'bingmaps:?where='<location>

I am following up with the Wirecloud User Guide available here https://wirecloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/#managing-marketplaces.
However, Map Viewer failed to load correctly, tried different browsers, same result. Even though I set the desired location in the widget Settings, here's the settings I added:
Mark shadow radius 10
Initial Location Santander, Spain
Zoom Level 17
Initial Zoom Level 14
I reloaded the map, yet location not loaded with a pop-up message saying
This page can't load Google Maps correctly.
Does anyone has idea why it fails to work correctly?
EDIT: Following image shows how the widget looks like when added.
You have to use a newer version of the map-viewer widget, current stable version is 2.6.2 and can be downloaded using this link.
Once installed this new version, you have to obtain an API key from Google (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key) and provide it on the widget preferences.
In any case, this is a bug in the WireCloud documentation, thanks for reporting it, it will be fixed as soon as possible.
I am writing a simple application using Ionic2 and Angular2.
I just want to type an address in my app, and then go to Google App on my phone
(I don't want to have map in my app just open another app).
I read that it is possible using linkLondon
which works perfectly in webApp.
Is it a possible to use it in a Mobile app?
I am taking you would like to open Google Maps App to navigate to a place based on the link you have given.
You can use this plugin: https://github.com/dpa99c/phonegap-launch-navigator
and call it like this: launchnavigator.navigate("London, UK"); to navigate to a destination address from current location. Other API calls can be found in the readme file.
I am planning to integrate google map feature for my Hybrid Mobile Application.
This is targeted for Android,iOS and Windows.
https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps
Above cordova plugin only works for iOS and Android, what about windows phone ? Do I need to use deparate Javascript Web API's of google maps to integrate with Windows phone ?
Since I didn't build this yet before, what can I provide you is some tutorials and different threads.
Like the answer in this thread, what you want to achieve is technically possible, but it is not legal. So basically you need a 3rd party app for these to work.
You can use Bing Map Control to use Google Maps in Windows. This tutorial explains everything with sample code and screenshot for you to follow.

I am trying to develop an app that access HERE map through its API to get the direction route using transit (not drive or walking) on WP8.1. When I go to HERE developer website, I didn't see the mobile SDK for windows phone. Is HERE maps API still support for WP8.1? Why can't I see HERE maps and its other apps (HERE drive+, HERE transit) in windows phone app store now? Has anyone tried HERE API in WP8.1 before?
The reason I want to use HERE maps API because the native WP8.1 map API does not return route in transit mode.
Thanks.
It was available 4-5 years ago but not anymore.
I want to create a map which shows offline maps from local database like sqlite, also, I need to perform map operation on it, in windows phone 8. I am searching for the same on Google and I got something similar like mapbox sdk https://www.mapbox.com/developers/api/ but for android and iOS, not for windows phone 8. Could an body give me an idea about how to go for it?
You can use map downloader task for windows phone offline apps..
MapDownloaderTask mdt = new MapDownloaderTask();
mdt.Show();

What I do in NZ Topo Map is spin up a local web service in the app for the map to connect to and request tiles from locally using a StreamSocketListener.
In this service, which can be reached via a local url and port number (e.g. http:// 127.0.0.1:[port]/), you would then serve tiles up from within your app however you have them stored.
You need to create your own custom TileSource to add to the map which would request the map tiles from the local url you have wired up to your StreamSocketListener.
