Can you please clarify: Are you looking for an iOS or Android app (there are plenty) or are you looking for a website that offers turn by turn navigation (I wasn't aware Google Maps does that)?

TZorn, an android or ios app that can be called to open from browaer like google map.

I suspect that "website" above means "something that opens from a browser" and "app" means "something that you download from an app store such as Google Play or the iOS App Store". Websites can offer app-like functionality - openstreetmap.org offers routing, for example.

There are lots of Android and iOS apps so you'll need to be a bit more specific about what you actually want.

SomeoneElse, as I replied above, I wanted to know if there are android or ios map app that can be called to open from browser.

There are lots of OSM-based services. What do you actually want?

The "call it from browser" bit is still unclear:

Do you want to write a website yourself which offers a way to call an app when you press on some button or link and passes on parameters like start and destination?

Or are you looking for a way to select some random text on an arbitrary website and get that pushed over to the app of your choice?

Why don't you explain in a few sentences what it is exactly you are trying to do? Give examples. Than people here are much better able to help you.

On Android, I use mostly two "gps navigation" apps, OsmAnd and Organic maps.

Both can open links from the browser. Usually the geo: URIs are the best supported.

You can find the full list of URIs OsmAnd will try to open in their docs, but be aware that those based on a fulltext search might fail.

Organic maps' list is there.

Maybe something is wrong with the intents of your Android.

H_mlet, hi, thanks for helping. could you possibly give me exampke how to open osmand from browser with from and to destination points?

(16 Nov '21, 22:20) Genlight

Hi, now I understand your question. I tried with the only URL of the list that has too points, and it doesn't seem to work on my phone : http://www.google.com/maps/dir/Current+Location/34,-106

And from the test code, it is only meant to find the last point anyway.

Maybe you could support this issue : https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/9257 or this one : https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/6928

But you should provide example links that you would want osmand to open.

There's a list of OSM-based services that offer routing here.

What mode of transport are you most interested in routing (car, bicycle, foot, something else?)?

Can you explain "I am looking for available app" using a few more words? I don't understand what you mean.
