How to invoke iPhone Maps for Directions with Current Location as Start Address

Question

I know it\'s possible to start the iPhone maps application by calling openURL on a google maps URL with parameters saddr and daddr wit

Answer 1

For iOS6 Maps App, you can just use the same URL posted above http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%@

but instead of the Google maps URL, you use the url with maps:// resulting in the following URL: maps://saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%@.

Using 'Current Location' doesn't seem to work, so I stayed with the coordinates.

Antother good thing: It's backwards compatible: On iOS5, it launches the Google Maps app.
