Hi,
I am using Intent to link to Google Maps and I pass the lat,lng and marker label to google maps - this works fine. I now want to pass multiple markers with labels to the google map. Is this possible? If so how do I do it?

B4X:
            Dim Intent1 As Intent
            Dim label_name As String = "Marker label name"
            Dim URI As String = "geo:" & lat & "," & lng & "?q=" & lat & "," & lng & "(" & label_name & ")"
            Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_VIEW,URI)
            Intent1.SetComponent("com.google.android.apps.maps")
            StartActivity(Intent1)

Thank You,
Regards,
Tom

Why not using GoogleMaps directly in your app?
You can add as many Markers as you want here.

I don´t know if there is an Intent for this.

Hi Manfred,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I want to use the full functionality of google maps including Directions - there is only one main marker which the user can be directed to - the other are generated from a csv file and should appear on the same map.
I have done a demo version using Google maps directly in the app but the client would like it to link to Google Maps with all the markers shown if possible.
Kind Regards,
Tom
