I'm building a flutter app where I want to open the Google Maps app with directions and enforce the waypoints.
I've seen multiple examples or implementations for the same in other Stackoverflow links.
My Code:
Future<void> launchMapsDirection(double lat, double lng) async {
print("called");
late final String url;
if (Platform.isAndroid) {
url = 'google.navigation:q=$lat,$lng';
// url = 'https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=$lat,$lng&travelmode=driving&dir_action=navigate';
// url = 'geo:$lat,$lng';
// url = 'https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=$lat,$lng';
// url = 'comgooglemaps://?daddr=$lat,$lng';
// url = 'comgooglemaps://?q=$lat,$lng';
// url = 'https://www.google.com/maps?daddr=$lat,$lng&dir_action=navigate';
} else {
url = 'comgooglemaps://?daddr=$lat,$lng';
}
if (await canLaunchUrl(Uri.parse(url))) {
await launchUrl(Uri.parse(url));
} else {
print('cannot launch url');
}
}
There are multiple Urls I've formed and tested.
Only url google.navigation:q=$lat,$lng seemed to work with many android devices that opens the Google map app but this doesn't support the parameter for waypoint. document here
The url https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination... supports the waypoints but opens in web-view google map (not the app). I tried to open this url with Intent packages, yet opens in web-view.
Is there a way to open google maps for navigation with the waypoints? Currently looking to make it work on android only.
