Answer 1

I am going with @Mnemonic Flow

• geo:latitude,longitude
• geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom
• geo:0,0?q=my+street+address
• geo:0,0?q=business+near+city

Create your Uri

Example

Step 1 : Create link like

Uri uri; 

• geo:latitude,longitude

  uri = Uri.parse("geo:47.6,-122.3")

• geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom

  uri = Uri.parse("geo:47.6,-122.3?z=11")

• geo:0,0?q=my+street+address

  uri = Uri.parse("geo:0,0q=The+Eldorado+Park,+Rampar+Mota,+Gujarat,+India")

• geo:0,0?q=business+near+city

  uri = Uri.parse("geo:0,0q=The+Eldorado+Park,+Rampar+Mota,+Gujarat,+India")

Step 1 Create method like below

public void showMap(Uri geoLocation) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    intent.setData(geoLocation);
    if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}

And Call like this

showMap(uri);

Step 2 : Add intent-filter in you manifiest file
