There are two methods that you can call to navigate either with the geolocation lat/long or with a full address to go to.
/// <summary>
/// Navigate to specific latitude and longitude.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="name">Label to display</param>
/// <param name="latitude">Lat</param>
/// <param name="longitude">Long</param>
/// <param name="navigationType">Type of navigation</param>
Task<bool> NavigateTo(string name, double latitude, double longitude, NavigationType navigationType = NavigationType.Default);
/// <summary>
/// Navigate to an address
/// </summary>
/// <param name="name">Label to display</param>
/// <param name="street">Street</param>
/// <param name="city">City</param>
/// <param name="state">Sate</param>
/// <param name="zip">Zip</param>
/// <param name="country">Country</param>
/// <param name="countryCode">Country Code if applicable</param>
/// <param name="navigationType">Navigation type</param>
Task<bool> NavigateTo(string name, string street, string city, string state, string zip, string country, string countryCode, NavigationType navigationType = NavigationType.Default);Examples:
var success = await CrossExternalMaps.Current.NavigateTo("Xamarin", "394 pacific ave.", "San Francisco", "CA", "94111", "USA", "USA");
var success = await CrossExternalMaps.Current.NavigateTo("Space Needle", 47.6204, -122.3491);Platform Tweaks
- NavigationType only works on iOS and Windows Phone Silverlight (geolocation only).
- Android will try to launch Google Maps first. If it is not installed then it will ask to see if a map apps is installed. If that doesn't work then it will launch the browser.
- Windows Phone Silverlight: Will attempt to launch external maps app for walk/drive, else launches bing maps.
