How to open Google Maps to show route using Swift
Swift 5 - Code
func openGoogleMap() {
guard let lat = booking?.booking?.pickup_lat, let latDouble = Double(lat) else {Toast.show(message: StringMessages.CurrentLocNotRight);return }
guard let long = booking?.booking?.pickup_long, let longDouble = Double(long) else {Toast.show(message: StringMessages.CurrentLocNotRight);return }
if (UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(URL(string:"comgooglemaps://")!)) { //if phone has an app
if let url = URL(string: "comgooglemaps-x-callback://?saddr=&daddr=\(latDouble),\(longDouble)&directionsmode=driving") {
UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:])
}}
else {
//Open in browser
if let urlDestination = URL.init(string: "https://www.google.co.in/maps/dir/?saddr=&daddr=\(latDouble),\(longDouble)&directionsmode=driving") {
UIApplication.shared.open(urlDestination)
}
}
}
Don't forget to write this in info.plist
<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>comgooglemaps</string>
<string>comgooglemaps-x-callback</string>
</array>
OK I found the answer myself.
If you want to show directions from the user's current location, leave the field saddr
blank and in the field daddr
you can enter the destination coordinates.
This is how I did it
if (UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(NSURL(string:"comgooglemaps://")!)) {
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string:
"comgooglemaps://?saddr=&daddr=\(place.latitude),\(place.longitude)&directionsmode=driving")!)
} else {
NSLog("Can't use comgooglemaps://");
}
}
