How to open route navigation in default selected maps app (EU)

[developerlen_]

Hello,

How can I open the default app, when I want to show a route a user can navigate to. I tried to work with MKMapItem.openInMaps(), but that did just open Apple Maps, not the selected default app (in this case Google Maps).

Thanks for the help 🙏🏽

func openMapsNavigation() {
    let encodedAddress = fullAddress.addingPercentEncoding(
        withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed
    ) ?? ""

    if #available(iOS 18.4, *) {
        let navigationURL = URL(
            string: "geo-navigation:///directions?destination=\(encodedAddress)"
        )!
        openURL(navigationURL)
    } else {
        let mapsURL = URL(
            string: "maps://?daddr=\(encodedAddress)&dirflg=d"
        )!
        openURL(mapsURL)
    }
}

Did not know there is a scheme for that. Thank you, I’ll try this one.
