On the website is an embedded Google maps page. When you open up this screen it pops up and asks if you want to open the map in the default iOS Map viewer. The Google map isn't the focal point of the page, so I'd rather it didn't ask this. Is there a way to keep it from popping up? Either some setting or a different way to embed the map in the webpage? Thanks! Title Comments I have a Custom URL page for my iOS app that opens up a website. On the website is an embedded Google maps page.

I'm guessing that Google is pushing this popup through from their end, in which case it may be difficult to circumvent. Comments Oh sorry - I misunderstood.

Here's a quick google- http://designshack.net/articles/html/embedding-google-maps-into-a-web-page-a-beginners-guide/ and who wins inf the ONLY 2 undefeated BCS teams were to meet? Would OSU/ND be a bigger game than Bama/ND? GO IRISH! Comments Is that map embedded in an iframe? That might do the trick?

Opening the page in Safari outside the app does not cause the popup, but does cause it inside our app. I've also tried out a different page with a map embedded using the Javascript Google Maps API and that does not cause the popup. It seems like this is something that the app does itself in certain situations. I'd like to just turn that popup off rather than messing with the Google Maps API if possible. I'd love to have an OSU/ND matchup. I think it'd be tough for us since we've been committing a lot of mistakes every game, but we do somehow find a way to win. Not unlike ND this year.

For the Custom URL screen for iOS, if you don't want it to pop-up for Google Maps, go to BT_screen_webView.m in the BT_Screens folder. Scroll down until you see the "//google maps" section and comment it out. This will prevent any Custom URL screen from requesting to open Google Maps in the default application. I'll have to remember to do this if I re-download the source code, but it's not too big a fix if I do. Comments I figured it out.
