I found some Example, but this one open the Google Maps. I need to open the Samsung Browser on Android.

<div class="maps-link">
<img style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="mapsSelector()" src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/747/maps-icon.png" />
</div>

function mapsSelector() {
  if /* if we're on iOS, open in Apple Maps */
    ((navigator.platform.indexOf("iPhone") != -1) || 
     (navigator.platform.indexOf("iPod") != -1) || 
     (navigator.platform.indexOf("iPad") != -1))
    window.open("maps://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=lat,long&amp;ll=");

  else /* else use Google */
    window.open("https://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=lat,long&amp;ll=");
}

You don't need to replace & with `&` when redirecting using JavaScript, this is only required when using the href attribute in an HTML document. — Ferrybig, Mar 15 '19 at 17:16
