Hi!

On Android, when selecting text that contains an address, next to 'cut' and 'copy', there is a 'map' button. It should take you directly to the location in a map app. This seems to be a handy link. Android lets me choose between Google Maps and Organic Maps. When I choose the former, the location appears, but when I choose the latter, it opens and nothing else happens.

It would be nice to allow Organic Maps to accept this shortcut.

Cheers!

Looks like it's about geo:// url scheme (NOT ge0!).

This should work on all platforms.

This problem has been fixed a month of two again. Please update to the latest version.

@rtsisyk no, it's a different issue. Contacts app uses a different scheme, probably geo://. We need to recheck and fix it properly if necessary. @jimcarst can you please confirm that it still doesn't work for you?

Indeed, it still does not work on the most recent Google Play version of the app.

We should add parsing of the following URI:
geo:0,0?q=STREETNUMBER%20HOUSENUMBER%0ACITY%2C%20STATE%20ZIPCODE%0ACOUNTRY

We should add parsing of the following URI: `geo:0,0?q=STREETNUMBER%20HOUSENUMBER%0ACITY%2C%20STATE%20ZIPCODE%0ACOUNTRY`

#1020 brought me here.
I'm using Organic Maps on a Pixel 4a with CalyxOS 2.9.0 (Android 11). Clicking an address in the default (stock Android?) Contacts app allows me to open that link in Organic Maps or my Browser. Opening it in Organic Maps does open the app but nothing happens afterwards (as described in #1020). Opening that link in my browser does reveal a link like this:
https://www.google.com/maps/dir//STREET+HOUSENUMBER+ZIPCODE+CITY/@NUMBER,NUMBER,NUMBERz/data=! followed by a lot of cryptic values I have no clue what they could be about.

I'd rather have Organic Maps handle those links instead of Googel Maps in my mobile browser.

Yes, this is a know bug. No only on Calyx. ---- On Mon, 20 Sep 2021 16:06:54 +0300 @.*** wrote ----

This format is needed for Instagram.

Hi there,

I am seeing this same issue on LineageOS 19.1 with default contact program. Logcat shows the following,when i tap on address found under contact:

START u0 {act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=geo:0,0?q=Some Address Number, City, State flg=0x13000000 cmp=app.organicmaps/com.mapswithme.maps.SplashActivity (has extras)} from uid 10088

Where "Some Address Number, City, State" is entry found under contacts.

For reference, OsmAnd~ (f-droid one) shows the same format in logs, the geo:0,0?q=Some Address Number, City, State

Naturally, address format may vary between programs and how you forma the data. Google contacts will offer to tap on given results after you type something in address field but you might use a different format. OsmAnd~

So the intent is the same but OrganicMaps are not opening addresses directly and not putting address string into search. One note here: since i dont use location by default, organic maps will prompt to enable that whenever i open the app. This same goes for opening a contact address.

If there is anything else i can provide, please respond.
