Current Location doesn't work with Apple Maps IOS 6

Preamble:

Given that:

if you create a link like:

"http://maps.apple.com/maps?saddr=here&daddr="+theUrlEncodedDestinationAddress

it will open the native map app with a "static" route from where you are to the given destination, but gives you no way to start the live turn-by-turn navigation to the destination.

If you create a link like:

"http://maps.apple.com/maps?q="+theUrlEncodedDestinationAddress

it will open the native map app with a marker on the destination and from there with a few taps you can start the live navigation.

Actual question:

Is there a URL syntax to open the native map app AND just start the live turn-by-turn navigation to the destination with no questions asked?

I searched the Apple docs for this and couldn't find anything useful.

NOTE: I know that starting the navigation can be done from within a native app, but I'm not interested in that. I would like to start it with a URL from a simple web page.

Thanks!

  • Sorry guys, this is not a duplicate. It's a different question. I'm asking how (if possible) to open the native app to show the live turn-by-turn directions to the desired destination. – Sergio Sep 24 '12 at 14:48
