I have a google maps page included already in my project, any help on achieving some integration would be appreciated!

Click on the Link button (looks like a chain) and copy in the first one. If you add a URL link to your image to that URL you pulled from Google Maps it'll work for you.

I thought of the 'Google URL' method, as I understand it though that will open the browser, I was hoping to find a solution that wouldn't rely on the user having access to the internet and keep everything 'native'. When I create a 'Google maps' page with buzztouch it gives me the option to give the user 'directions from their current location': all I need to know is whether I can trigger this from a HTML5 page?
