External Service

###External Service The plugin does not implement some features, such as navigation, but the external applications have one. In this case, you can launch the external application.

Recommend: Launch Navigator Cordova/Phonegap Plugin

Navigation

The launchNavigation method launches the Google Maps app. If Google Maps app is not available in iOS, Apple Maps app is launched. You can just pass from and to parameters.

As of version 1.2.3, you can also specify the travelMode parameter.

travelMode

• driving
• transit
• bicycling
• walking

###Example1

plugin.google.maps.external.launchNavigation({
  "from": "Tokyo, Japan",
  "to": "Kyoto, Japan"
});

###Example2

var yourLocation = null;
map.getMyLocation(function(location) {
  yourLocation = location.latLng;
  
  map.addMarker({
    "position": yourLocation,
    "title": "I am around here!"
  }, function(marker) {
    marker.showInfoWindow();
  });
  
  map.moveCamera({
    "target": yourLocation,
    "zoom": 12
  });
});

map.on(plugin.google.maps.event.MAP_CLICK, function(latLng) {
  map.addMarker({
    "position": latLng,
    "title": "Destination"
  }, function(marker) {
    marker.showInfoWindow();
    
    setTimeout(function() {
      
      if (confirm("Do you want to go?")) {
        plugin.google.maps.external.launchNavigation({
          "from": yourLocation,
          "to": latLng
        });
      }
    }, 2000);
  });
});
