How to show locations on apple ios 6 maps with sharedApplication

Question

in my application in ios 5 i have a button name on the map

For example, in the store detail view, there is a showinmap button, and this button goes to maps.google to show the current direction of the user and the direction of the store, and he also draws a line between these directions on how to get there.

this was my method:

NSString* url = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Current+Location&daddr=%@,%@",lonlocation,latlocation]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString: url]]; 

but in ios 6, as you know, there is no Google Maps application. instead, there is an app for the new Apple card.

now my problem is how can I change my code to do the same work with apple map application in ios6 versions?

Answer 1

Just replace maps.google.com with maps.apple.com in your url and it works like a charm :)

 CGFloat sysVers = [UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion.floatValue; NSString* hostName = (sysVers < 6.0) ? @"maps.google.com" : @"maps.apple.com"; NSString* url = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"http://%@/maps?saddr=Current+Location&daddr=%@,%@",hostName,lonlocation,latlocation]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString: url]];

[EDIT] As @Vagari noted in his answer, it seems that Apple integrated it better than me, and you can specify all your URLs on maps.apple.com even in iOS5: Apple will automatically redirect your URLs to maps .google.com if you release them from your iOS5 device!

While AliSoftware saves its hop with its own method. Technically, you only need to change maps.google.com to maps.apple.com . Apple redirects redirection to devices not related to iOS 6. I just wanted to clarify.
