How to launch Nokia Maps application

[aarniti]

I tried to find how to launch Nokia Maps application to show locations but didn't found any API for that. Is this API public? I use N97 SDK.

Yes and no. You can use the AIW partner API with the mapping service commands (availiable with the partner SDK) but an example of how to use it is not avaiable.
I ended up using the Symbian foundation code to hack together something which I am not at liberty to disclose unfortunately.

Do a search for KAiwCmdMnShowMap for more information

Also you would need to pay license fees of using the Maps application, thus I would not recommend utilizing any methods unless you have got permission from your Nokia business contact to do so.

Can you clarify that that is the offical Nokia position since this API was made avaliable as an offical Symbian Foundation API and was part of the S60 partnering SDK. There was no mention of any additional cost anywhere to utilize this API.

I'll ask Chief to come and comment, since he should have more upto dated information on that than me..

However, it is possible to open landmark and landmark gives option to open it in Maps.

- Set right mimetype
- Give RApaLsSession ->StartDocument to open it

I cannot post codes.
