The following code , taken from a working app, will navigate to a point from your current location using google maps

B4X:

Sub NavigatetoLatLong(Lat As String, Lng As String)
    Dim mapIntent As Intent
    Dim gURI As String
    gURI="google.navigation:q=" & Lat & "," & Lng
    
    mapIntent.Initialize(mapIntent.ACTION_VIEW, gURI)
    mapIntent.SetComponent("googlemaps")
    StartActivity(mapIntent)
  
End Sub
