Search-based Deep-link Formats: Places and Routes

w.weglinska | 19 April, 2012 14:25

Nokia Maps allows “deep links” to be created externally from the application which link to specific places, routes, addresses, etc. These deep links can be created by any other service and link directly into our application.

Where is this place?

This URL format will open maps.nokia.com and show a single address result directly on the map with a nice little bubble and everything.

The address is formed by concatenating the various parameters of the address.

http://maps.nokia.com/whereis/address

Example

http://maps.nokia.com/whereis/unter den linden, 21, berlin, 10117, germany

Getting from A to B

This URL format will open maps.nokia.com and show a route and maneuvers on the map, and a detailed maneuver list on the left-hand panel.

URL Format

The address is formed by concatenating the various parameters of the address. We support up to 6 waypoints.

http://maps.nokia.com/drive/address(start)/ address(waypoint1)/.../address(waypoint2)/address(destination)

Example

http://maps.nokia.com/drive/unter den linden,21,berlin,10117,germany/invalidenstr,117,berlin,10115,germany

Summary

We strongly believe that this new API will make our users very happy. You only need one link to create route or to show the location. We hope you will have a lot of fun with it!
