I am have a responsive website that I want to wrap to a native app for android and iPhone. The site generates a dynamic location that is then mapped on a google map. For mobile users I want to have a link that when clicked will open the phones map app to view the location.

I was able to create the mobile app for andriod using MobiOne. It is very easy, but when I use the pop into new window (native) to open the website, when you click on the link with the address that uses the geo: protocal, I get page can’t found error. If I use the pop into new window to open the website the link works great and opens the phones map with the address located. It seems like the browser that is within the mobile app created by MobiOne does not recognize the geo: protocal like the browser on the phone.

Is there a way to make it recognize it?

We need to get these able in the android market and the apple store and I believe they will not let us if we pop a site into the phones browser.

This is the format of the link I am using on the site:

<a href="geo:0,0?q=205+n+main+st+elliston+mt">test map</a>

I really like how easy MobiOne is to use and hope we can use it to wrap our website to create a native app. I need to get the map links to work inside the app.

Thank you,
Marlo
