Excaliburc I hate code! Posts: 5 Reg: Jan 26, 2012 Los Angeles 50	confirm \| cancel 02/16/12 03:00 PM (13 years ago) Map Search via Launch Native App? I added a Launch native app screen. I copied from google the url and inserted it into my data stream and it works great. The only thing I am wondering is if it could search by current location.. For instance, if I wanted to search for pizza places in my area, currently I am using this google url http://maps.google.com/maps?q=pizza&hl=en&sll=39.436193,-89.648437&sspn=45.739451,108.984375&hq=pizza&t=h&z=4 which, if you try it, shows a map of the us. I'd like my app to use Current location and then search for pizza. Is this possible? Title Comments I added a Launch native app screen.

You'll probably need the Lat and lon location of the device. See the Documentation in the "How To's" section of this website to see how to send this data via Merge Fields. http://www.buzztouch.com/docs/v1.5/mergeFields.php Comments Have a look at the Google maps API to see how you would achieve this from google's end.
