title: Providing lat/long AND title in iOS Maps URL seems to cause zoom level to be ignored
body: <p>I'm writing an iOS app that shows a location in Maps upon a user action. I'd like to drop a pin with a description and zoom in to show map detail.</p>
  
  <p>If I invoke Maps with the url <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=-33.895851,151.18483+(Some+Description)&amp;z=19" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://maps.google.com/maps?q=-33.895851,151.18483+(Some+Description)&amp;z=19</a> I get a pin with 'Some Description', but the zoom level is ignored. This <em>does</em> work on the Google Maps website.</p>
  
  <p>If I use <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=-33.895851,151.18483&amp;z=19" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://maps.google.com/maps?q=-33.895851,151.18483&amp;z=19</a> the zoom works, but I get no pin.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried a few combinations of <code>?q=</code>, <code>?ll=</code> and <code>?sll=</code>, but so far, nothing will change zoom <em>and</em> show a description.</p>
  
  <p>Any clues?</p>

  <p>Just so we're <em>really</em> clear, here are some screenshots. I want this to work on a real device (i.e. with iOS Maps). The simulator uses Google Maps through Safari.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I see with URL 1 (<code>[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: @"http://maps.google.com/maps?q=-33.895851,151.18483+(Some+Description)&amp;z=19"]];</code>)</p>

  <p>This is URL 2 (<code>[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: @"http://maps.google.com/maps?q=-33.895851,151.18483&amp;z=19"]];</code>):</p>

  <p>This is relikd's suggestion (<code>[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: @"http://maps.google.com/maps?z=19&amp;q=-33.895851,151.18483+(Some+Description)"]];</code>):</p>

  <p>I want the image I see in screenshot 2, but with a pin and a description.</p>

  <p>Thanks to phix23, it looks like <code>&amp;z=</code> is always ignored, and I got lucky in that my examples with <code>&amp;z=19</code> happened to zoom in a lot. So, I'll rephrase: how can I 'encourage' iOS maps to zoom in?</p>
