I ran into repetitiveness when navigating my users to Google Maps, and a few other functions. This plugin just makes it a bit easier when developing, without having to remember each url structure.
Actions:
Google Map Directions
Apple Map Directions
Google Map Search
Open / Display a Google Map
Open / Display a Google Map Panorama
Google Map Directions using Waypoints
These all open in new tabs. If youāre using a phone, itāll open in the default maps app, and if not installed, will open in your default browser.
This is neat! I am having trouble triggering the deep link. Currently using the GoNative wrapper and wondering if this is blocking the trigger, or if I am missing something.
Good question. I donāt have any experience with a wrapper, or trying this plugin with one for that matter. In theory it should work, as itās using links provided by Google and Apples documentation.
Does it throw and errors or anything?
The plugin is technically opening the link in a new ātabā. I assume if I gave the option to open in the āsameā tab it might behave better in a wrapper. (Donāt hold me to it, just a guess) In the meantime Iāll see Iāll try and come up with something tomorrow.
@timzafir Sorry for the delay. Iāve updated the plugin with a new action called āGoogle Maps Directions (Testing)ā for you to test with. Itās the same action, just opens in the same tab.
Iāve been doing some reading on Android links, and will have to think of another way to go about this if the test one doesnāt succeed.
Update the plugin to v2.8.0, then refresh your editor.
So yes it does work. However, on android, it opens up the google maps browser in the window. there is an āopen in appā button in the browser that is very sticky. ie needs to be mashed to finally trigger google maps app and sometimes crash.
I reckon this is a wrapper constraint playing havoc. Will let you know how it turns out when we rewrap.
