Map (ios and Android)

hello im trying to figure how to launch the native iOS Maps from within my app. This was easily possible when Google was used as the backend to Maps, using navigateToURL to a google maps link,  but now they are not in iOS6 and this solution just opens the map in safari at a google page. Of course Map intergration with native extension is ideal, but until then launching the Maps seperartly will, any suggestion, i've searched all over then internet is what ive been doing pre iOS6.

This is an example of maps with marker for geolocation

import flash.display.Loader;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.sensors.Geolocation;

const GOOGLE_URL:String = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?";

var geolocation:Geolocation = new Geolocation();

geolocation.addEventListener(GeolocationEvent.UPDATE, onTravel);

function onTravel(event:GeolocationEvent):void

{

    geolocation.removeEventListener(GeolocationEvent.UPDATE, onTravel);

    loadStaticImage(event.latitude, event.longitude);

}

function loadStaticImage(lat:Number, long:Number):void

{

    var width:int = Math.min(640,stage.stageWidth);

    var height:int = Math.min(640,stage.stageHeight);

    var request:String = "markers=size:large|color:blue|label:A|"+ lat + "," + long+ "&zoom=16+ &size=" + width + "x" + height +"&maptype=hybrid&mobile=true&sensor=true";

    var loader:Loader = new Loader();

    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);

    loader.load(new URLRequest(GOOGLE_URL + request));

}

function imageLoaded(event:Event):void

{

    event.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);

    addChild(event.currentTarget.content);

}

The AIR SDK does not have pre-built maps API. You can use either of the following approaches to include maps in your application:

1. Use an actionscript library like Yahoo! maps or Google maps.

2. Use a native extension that utilizes the native maps API on iOS and Android. For more on native extensions, see this. This is a sample maps native extension for iOS.
