How to open a apple maps application with directions from my ios application
apple-maps, direction, ios, iphone, maps
Solution
If you mean taking the user to the maps application based on two points, then you can do it like this:
Create an NSURL that looks like this:
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%f,%f"];
You plug in your starting address and destination (in lat. and long.) appropriately. Tell your application to open the URL
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:URL];
It should take you to the maps application automatically!
Problem
