I am looking for some info re the URL syntax for Google Maps ( for use on a blackberry that has google maps installed)
Suppose I have a location described as follows ( no address - just XY coordinates):
Lat = 45.37174
Lon= 75.64713
Name of location= Office
If I want to display the above on the BB using Blackberry maps, the syntax is simply:
maps.BlackBerry.com?lat=45.37174&lon=-75.64713&z=1&label=Office
What would the syntax be for Google Maps?
I tried the following - it works but I don’t get the arrow or the label (as I don’t know the syntax):
maps.google.ca/maps?&ll=45.37174,-75.64713
( P. S. I don’t have Google maps installed on BB - I am trying to provide something to a guy at work who only has Google maps ( and not BB Maps)
If someone can tell me how to expand the syntax to show the arrow/label, that would be great.
Many thanks
