Open Mobile Device's Maps When user Click Button.1

I am developing mobile application using phonegap. In my application, I have one button, which is "view location". When the user click on that button, device maps should be open and after the maps opened, and user click back, it should back to my application. How to do that?

Looking at the Android intents list it should be possible using the q parameter within the geo: URI space.

Try this for Android:

<a href="geo:0,0?q=Bacau">Test</a>

or

<a href="geo:38.897096,-77.036545">open map</a>

iOS: 

<a href="maps:q=someaddress" target="_blank" />

At this time all of this functionality is not unified under a single API. You will have to deal with each platform separately.
