Access Windows 10 offline maps

Is there a way to access Windows 10 offline maps?

I don't mean by getting a Bing maps token etc. I mean, is there an api for them for a Windows Store app or .net app?

EDIT

I want to use the map data in my app. Not to launch the Windows 10 Maps app.

There are three options to using the offline maps;

  1. Use the Maps app that is in Windows 10.
  2. Launch the Maps app in Windows 10 from your app using protocol activation: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/launch-resume/launch-maps-app I believe this is what you are after.
  3. Use the map control that is built into the Windows 10 SDK. This requires a Bing Maps key/token.
