Automagic Forum

Hello,

does anybody know how to dynamically refresh google maps with a pointer pointing to new coordinates?
Right now it is perfectly possible to open a google maps with your coordinates and comments etc by using intent.
But what if I want to move the pointer, targeting new coordinates every n seconds (to reflect a moving target)? (I have a flow that reports coordinates of the second phone each minute to me)

If I use the same intent - the system asks me what kind of maps application I want to use to handle such intent. (I have a few maps application installed).
What I am trying to achieve is to just move the pointer on a map that has already been opened on a screen.

Thank you.

Hi,

Are you starting Google Maps with an action Start Activity? If this is the case you could check Explicit Component and select Google Maps in the package field.
