Open external navigation app with PhoneGap

Question

I have a phonegap jquery app, I want to create Navigation Event. I have coordiates \ address of location and I want to use appls like Google Nav\Waze\Glympse and others nav apps to open a new navigation to the destination.

Example: I have coordinates of "Test 5" street in Los Angeles, Click on the Adrress will launch the Navigation App and Take me to there (outside my application).

<a href="#">Test 5, LA</a>

or

<a href="#">43.2342,-70.4234</a>

How can I do it?

Answer 1

geo: href doesn't work in phonegap 3x , it only works in phonegap 2x only for showing location and search not for direction. Solution for open google map from phonegap 2x and 3x :

For Navigation - window.open("google.navigation:q=23.3728831,85.3372199&mode=d" , '_system');

For Search - window.open("geo:0,0?q=pizza" , '_system');

work simply with "saddr" and "daddr" values just great!
