How to share my location from flutter app to whatsapp number?

I have a function that shared data to whatsapp number, but when sending a google location it`s not working.

when printing the URL that I get at this function: https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=9.5191017,8.1450133

but I see that in WhatsApp look like: https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1

my code :

_launchURL() async {
    var phonenumber = numberphone.substring(1,10);
    var url = 'https://wa.me/+972$phonenumber?text=$textToSend';
    print(url);
    if (await canLaunch(url)) {
        await launch(url);
    } else {
        throw 'Could not launch $url';
    }
}

my code that called the _launchURL()

onPressed: () async{
    Position position = await getCurrentPosition(desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.high);
    textToSend='https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=${position.latitude},${position.longitude}'.toString() ;   
    _launchURL();
}

any one can help me how to share location in whatsapp app using flutter ? Thank you

Try this

String locationUrl =
    'https://www.google.com/maps/search/? 
     api=1&query=${latitude},${longitude}';
  String whatsappUrl = Uri.parse('https://wa.me/').replace(
    queryParameters: {
      'text': locationUrl,
    },
 ).toString();
final url = Uri.parse(whatsappUrl);
if (await canLaunchUrl(url)) {
  await launchUrl(url);
} else {
  showSnakbar('Whatsapp not installed');
}
}

I solved this issue using the code below

final maps = Uri.https("google.com", "/maps/search/", { "api=1&query": "$lat,$lng" });
