How to add apple map marker via query string in the url?

Question

I want add map marker (like google map) in the map app when I use a url link to open the map on the iPhone from my app.

like this : <a href="http://maps.apple.com?ll=latitude,longtitude">

I can open the apple map and the map center is on the location I want, but how to add a marker at the same time? I am not sure how query string I can add on the url

I have already read the doc below

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If you wanna use internal map app (Apple Map), you should change your protocol for maps.

Like:

maps://maps.apple.com/?q={latitude},{longitude}

Now http://maps.apple.com query will redirect to google map :O

Answer 2

I use this url format:

http://maps.apple.com/?ll={lat},{long}&z={zoom}&q={label+name}

The url opens the internal maps app in the position indicated with a marker that shows a label with the text indicated in querystring
