My maps are showing the correct location for a business, and I've set the marker option to show driving directions when it's tapped. The correct latitude and longitude of the business isn't being passed to my GPS app. The GPS is reporting both my starting and destination positions as my current location. Is this a bug in 1.5 or am I doing something wrong? Help please.

I have had the same problem with my Android apps as well. But have found no way to fix it. It's not reporting the location in the google maps part of BT. But it will report the user location correctly in the BT browser map screen. I'd love to get this working but don't see how.

Having the same problem here... I think no one has the answer... Have asked this for a very long time...

Has anyone been able to address/fix this issue? Please share if possible.

Also having this problem...

I think I know where the problem is. Sorry, but I am not good with the codes. Here is the section I believe there is a problem. if(tmpLatitude.length() > 3){ try{ //currentDevice.location > Obj_MapLocation.location BT_item tappedLocation = (BT_item) childItems.get(selectedIndex); Uri uri = Uri.parse(http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr= + tmpLatitude + , + tmpLongitude + &daddr= + tmpLatitude + , + tmpLongitude); Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri); I believe the problem is that tmpLongtitude and tmpLatitude are the values used in &daddr=. I already have a few screens with values of the Latitude and Longtidues of the location. So what are the variables to use in daddr= ? Do I have to declare the values?

The info on this site may be helpful. http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/reference/com/google/android/maps/GeoPoint.html The site mentions the commands getLatitudeE6() and getLongitudeE6(). Evidently, these extract the latitude and longitude info from a GeoPoint. I'm not a Java programmer, but it looks to me that childLocationPoints in line 112 of BT_screen_map.java is where the GeoPoint information is stored. There is probably some way to use the getLatitudeE6() command to extract the latitude information and assign it to a variable. That variable could then be plugged into the &daddr part of Uri uri = Uri.parse(http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr= + tmpLatitude + , + tmpLongitude + &daddr= + tmpLatitude + , + tmpLongitude); Same for getLongitudeE6() Can someone help with the syntax and where to declare the variables?

Success! Here's the change required to make the tapped marker's latitude and longitude pass to your native GPS program. In YourApp> src> com.yourapp> BT_screen_map.java Change line 593 from: Uri uri = Uri.parse(http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr= + tmpLatitude + , + tmpLongitude + &daddr= + tmpLatitude + , + tmpLongitude + ); To: Uri uri = Uri.parse(http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr= + tmpLatitude + , + tmpLongitude + &daddr= + tappedLocation.getLatitude() + , + tappedLocation.getLongitude());

NICE!!! It works!!! Thank you so much lorenh!!! If you don't mind, I have another problem with the maps. The show user location button doesn't work. I have been tinkering with the values inside BT_screen_map.java, but I can't seem to get it to show my current location. Any ideas where I need to change? Thank you in advance =D

I've noticed the same thing, but haven't had time to look for the problem. I've set my core properties to turn on GPS tracking when my app is launched. That's provided the user's location on maps. I know they recommend giving the end user the ability to turn that feature off, but I don't see any command in the Control Panel that allows that, just the Show user location option, which doesn't turn GPS on. If I figure it out, I'll post the answer here.

Is it normal to get an error message from the file when you replace the code on line 593 of the BT_screen_map.java file?

Nope. I didn't have any problem at all
