I am fetching location data (like the coordinates used below) from Google's Places API.
When linking to Apple Maps for navigation from my app, I am currently using:
https://maps.apple.com/?daddr=[latitude],[longitude]
When Maps opens, it presents the coordinates for a short amount of time before resolving to an address. What I want is for the name of the destination to appear instead of coordinates or an address. Since I am using React Native, I would prefer a javascript-only solution (knowing that this essentially restricts a solution to this question to a url).
I have tried combinations of other parameters listed here to no avail.
Try with this function, you only need to pass the coordinates and place name, this works, I use this in several projects
static func openMapsAppWithLocation(coordinates:CLLocationCoordinate2D,placeName:String)
{
let regionDistance:CLLocationDistance = 10000
let regionSpan = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(coordinates, regionDistance, regionDistance)
let options = [
MKLaunchOptionsMapCenterKey: NSValue(mkCoordinate: regionSpan.center),
MKLaunchOptionsMapSpanKey: NSValue(mkCoordinateSpan: regionSpan.span)
]
let placemark = MKPlacemark(coordinate: coordinates, addressDictionary: nil)
let mapItem = MKMapItem(placemark: placemark)
mapItem.name = placeName
mapItem.openInMaps(launchOptions: options)
}
Hope this helps
