Direct driving directions

Can I enter some kind of code at the map plugin or anywhere else, so if someone taps on a pin and select open native map application, driving instructions load automatically without the user manually configure the map application in order to drive him to the point?

Well, in iOS v5.1, and on Android, the Location Map Plugin does that already. However, in iOS 6, the Apple Maps kinda screwed things up that way. a GoogleMap SDK is available for iOS now, and Apple has pretty much relinquished mapping to Google, but I don't think any recent plugins take advantage of it. I could be wrong. Cheers! -- Smug

thanks, so it isn't possible right now through the existing plugins? Can I change some line of code in order to achieve that?

Well, the existing Location Map plugin does that, but iOS 6 internal maps are not ready for prime time. It would be nice if someone could install the Google Map SDK and do an update on the Loc Map plugin... Cheers! -- Smug
