Open default application with nativescript

I am quite surprised I have yet to find an answer to this on the internet.

How do I open a native/default app from my nativescript app?

In this instance I want to open a map application with a location parameter (not sure if it will be a string, coordinates, etc).

You can use utils 

var utilsModule = require("tns-core-modules/utils/utils");

utilsModule.openUrl("<< for example: maps short link>>");

In fact it will try to open map link with browser. But android && ios will ask to you “do you want to open it via Maps?” at first.

There may be some plugins for opening via maps directly without any question but I think this way is better (you dont need to install a plugin)

For more info about utils, see that
