Waze deep links

Question

I am developing an application using Xamarin Forms (cross-platform) and I am trying to open a Waze application from my application, passing latitude and longitude.
It opens Waze very well, but Waze is just open, it did not try to find the address or latitude / longitude that I went through.

Some ideas on how I can make it work?

--- EDIT ---
Finally, he WORK using the idea of ​​@SushiHangover, I managed to achieve the desired result. The final code is here:

public static Task<bool> OpenWazeAndroid(decimal latitude, decimal longitude, string address) { if (IsAndroid()) { try { var lat = latitude.ToString().Replace(",","."); var longi = longitude.ToString().Replace(",", "."); const string wazePrefix = "waze://"; Android.Content.Intent intent = new Android.Content.Intent(Android.Content.Intent.ActionView, Android.Net.Uri.Parse(wazePrefix)); string wazeURL = ("https://waze.com/ul?q=" + address + "&ll=" + lat + "," + longi + "&z=8&navigate=yes"); wazeURL = wazeURL.Replace(" ", "%20"); var resolveInfo = Android.App.Application.Context.PackageManager.ResolveActivi‌​ty(intent, 0); Android.Net.Uri wazeUri; if (resolveInfo != null) { wazeUri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(wazeURL); } else { wazeUri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse("market://details?id=com.waze"); } intent.AddFlags(Android.Content.ActivityFlags.NewTask); intent.SetData(wazeUri); Android.App.Application.Context.StartActivity(intent); return Task.FromResult(true); } catch (Exception ex) { App.Shell.Alert("Erro ao abrir o Waze.\n" + ex.Message); return Task.FromResult(false); } } return Task.FromResult(false); }

A direct link to an Android app does not match the link properties / parameters (Waze iOS does), so use the web base URL ( https://waze.com ) to open Waze correctly with deep link settings.

Example:

 const string wazeAppURL = "waze://"; var wazeURL = $"https://waze.com/ul?ll={loc[0]},{loc[1]}&navigate=yes"; var intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionView, Android.Net.Uri.Parse(wazeAppURL)); var resolveInfo = PackageManager.ResolveActivity(intent, 0); var wazeUri = resolveInfo != null ? Android.Net.Uri.Parse(wazeURL) : Android.Net.Uri.Parse("market://details?id=com.waze"); intent.SetData(wazeUri); StartActivity(intent);
