I was wondering if there is an equivalent of "mailto:" for physical addresses. Ideally, it would launch the default maps application on the user's mobile/table device with the address entered by default, just like how "tel:" works.

    Close. It would launch Google Maps, not the default application. Similarly, [`http://maps.apple.com/?q=`](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/MapLinks/MapLinks.html) will launch iOS Maps. There is no URL scheme that will launch the default app yet. – Amadan Aug 19 '15 at 08:18
  • I already have a google maps iframe on my page. I just wanted to provide a generic link also since some people may be forced to download Google maps if they don't already have it on their phone. – Parth Shah Aug 19 '15 at 08:19
