After reading the question n:th time. It came to mind, do you even have access to the navigation app source code or any idea of the intents it uses? – Gjordis Feb 19 '13 at 07:47

I don't know why this was marked down, it's a reasonable question even if poorly framed. If he knew exactly how to word the question he wouldn't need to ask it. – Peter Wone Mar 11 '13 at 06:39

Try this code:
Button map_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.map_btn);
map_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent intent = null, chooser;
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("geo:xx.xxxxxx,xx.xxxxxx"));
chooser = Intent.createChooser(intent,"Lunch Map");
try {
startActivity(chooser);
}catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
e.getCause();
}
}
});
where xx.xxxxxx is your location.
