title: Open android native google maps app obtaining directions starting from current position
body: <p>I'm trying to open google maps from my application, setting a route from the phone current position to a fixed position. I'm using this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String uri = "https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=&amp;daddr=example";        
  Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
  startActivity(i);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that I don't know what to put in saddr= to reference my current position. I've found many other questions like this but no answer worked (such as leaving saddr= empty or saddr=Current, they don't work).</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to use native android locator, I just want to know if there's a way to ask google maps "start from my current position".</p>
