You don't have to determine the user's current location yourself, the Maps app will take care of it.

Instead of passing a latitude/longitude pair you can pass Current%%20Location and Maps will determine the user's current location itself.

%20 is a url-encoded space character, and the extra % escapes the actual % so it won't be interpreted as a format substitution.
