I have a trouble using a google map link with longitutes and latitudes that I give from an android application. The link is fine, except that when I open the link from my android device I cannot see the red spot that points the exact place. I only see the map zoomed-into that place but not the pointer itself. Do you know how I can fix this??? The url is: 

String msgbody = "I am in: " + "https://www.google.gr/maps/@" + lat + "," + lng + ",16.5z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0";

  • This might help, use `?q=loc:` before the coordinates, see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6582834/use-a-url-to-link-to-a-google-map-with-a-marker-on-it/6582937#6582937 – Daniel Nugent Jul 22 '15 at 22:10

You may use Show a location on a map

To open a map, use the ACTION_VIEW action and specify the location information in the intent data with one of the schemes defined below.

geo:latitude,longitude

Show the map at the given longitude and latitude. Example: "geo:47.6,-122.3"

geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom

Show the map at the given longitude and latitude at a certain zoom level. A zoom level of 1 shows the whole Earth, centered at the given lat,lng. The highest (closest) zoom level is 23. Example: "geo:47.6,-122.3?z=11"
