Answer 1

First open Info.plist as Source Code (Righ Click on file Info.plis, then select Source Code) and add this:

LSApplicationQueriesSchemes

    googlechromes
    comgooglemaps

Next to make it easier to open Google Maps, create function like this one:

func openGoogleMaps() {
    if (UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(URL(string:"comgooglemaps://")!)) {
        UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string:
            "comgooglemaps://?center=\(myLatitude),\(myLongitude)&zoom=14&views=traffic")!)
    } else {
        print("Can't use comgooglemaps://")
    }
}

Whenever you want to open Google Maps with given coordinate, you just call the function openGoogleMaps().
