How to open Google Maps click on embed maps in Xcode

I'm trying to open Google Maps app when I click on embed google maps sdk in Xcode. Please help me in order to find the solution?

Add one key in .plist file "LSApplicationQueriesSchemes" and mention one item "comgooglemaps" in that.
Then try this code.
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL: [NSURL URLWithString:#"comgooglemaps:"]]) {
NSURL *directionsURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"comgooglemaps://"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:directionsURL];
}

How to launch Google Maps Navigation from iOS app?

I can open Google maps app using [NSURL URLWithString:#"comgooglemaps://...."]
But how to open Navigation mode?

The navigation mode is explained here, "Add navigation to your app" : https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/urlscheme
Try this code :
NSURL *testURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"comgooglemaps-x-callback://"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:testURL]) {
NSString *directionsRequest = #"comgooglemaps-x-callback://" + #"?daddr=John+F.+Kennedy+International+Airport,+Van+Wyck+Expressway,+Jamaica,+New+York" + #"&x-success=sourceapp://?resume=true&x-source=AirApp";
NSURL *directionsURL = [NSURL URLWithString:directionsRequest];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:directionsURL];
}

can we force to open facebook link in browser not in native app iphone

Is it possible to force through your application that it will open the web link in safari only not in native app like facebook, twitter or web view etc.
So far i searched found only this code that is used for opening the link
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"www.facebook.com"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
But what can we paste in else there below?
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:nsurl]){
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:nsurl];
}
else {
//Open the url as usual, but how?
}

Use http://facebook.com/ instead of www.facebook.com
this will force a link to open in Safari instead of native app*
NSURL *myURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://facebook.com/"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:myURL]) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:myURL];
}

You can use a webView to open any link of your choice.

Cannot open Google Maps in an iOS Application

I'm trying to launch Google Maps iOS Application in my Application by doing this :
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.title = #"Google Map";
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:
#"comgooglemaps://?center=40.765819,-73.975866&zoom=14&views=traffic"]];
}
However, the app does not launch Google Maps iOS at all. I do have Google Maps iOS installed.
What I am missing over here?
Can somebody help me out?
Thanks.

Try this instead
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = COORDINATE;
// Open Google Maps application
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"comgooglemaps://"]]) {
NSString *daddr = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%g,%g",coordinate.latitude, coordinate.longitude];
NSString *urlString = nil;
BOOL showQuery = YES;
if (showQuery) {
// Query
urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"comgooglemaps://?q=%#",daddr];
} else {
// Directions
urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"comgooglemaps://?saddr=&daddr=%#", daddr];
}
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
}

You'll need to include comgooglemaps url scheme to your project Info.plist. I recommend checking out Localide. It helps you open Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, Transit App, Citymapper, and Navigon very easily.
