From my personal Code Library. ;)

public static Intent viewOnMap(String address) {
    return new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                      Uri.parse(String.format("geo:0,0?q=%s",
                                              URLEncoder.encode(address))));
}

public static Intent viewOnMap(String lat, String lng) {
    return new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                      Uri.parse(String.format("geo:%s,%s", lat, lng)));
}
