About this question

I have requirement :

Add a "Directions" button on the restaurant mobile page,"Directions" button should pass the restaurant's location to the device's selected mapping app. Once this button is tapped, the user should be prompted to select their mapping app.

So Using VF page (Salesforce1) how can I open Mapping apps like Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps (iOS only) etc ?

For Skype we can use the "skype://call?415-555-1212" URL Scheme. Regarding Mapping applications, what URL scheme do I need to use?

Thanks,

Your answer

When the user taps the Doodle Jump "Directions" button, you can prompt them to select their preferred mapping app by linking to these URL schemes. This approach ensures a seamless experience across different devices and mapping applications.
