When I want to invoke a phone dialler I use <a href="+442088887777">Call me</a> - and this will automatically invoke whatever the user's most appropriate application is with that number.

Is there an equivalent for maps? Something like <a href="map:lat=51.527141,lon=-0.087853">Here I am</a>

I know that Apple hijacks maps.google.com links to open in Apple Maps - but I wondered if there was a better way?

See this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10769676/1178052 which states that geo: is the correct uri protocol, but maps: may be supported in future.
