Mark a location on map for windows app


I am trying to mark a location on map using a link in Windows 10 app.

Tried using urlscheme maps:q=<location> and geo:0,0?q=<location> for anchor tag <a></a>.

Both of the URL scheme launches the Map app installed in device, but the location is not getting marked on the map.

I tried geo:0,0?q=<location> for Android and maps:q=<location>for iOS which is working fine.


Solution

  • Got it!

    For windows we can use the Bing map app URL Scheme for searching and marking a location on map in Windows is 'bingmaps:?where='<location>
