title: Launch Google Maps app
body: <p>I'm trying to launch Google maps from my application. I'm using: </p>
  
  <pre><code>GeoPoint center = _mapView.getMapCenter(); 
  
  Uri uri = Uri.parse("geo:"+center.getLatitudeE6()+","+center.getLongitudeE6()); 
  
  Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Launching Google Maps with Uri: ("+uri+")"); 
  Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
  
  startActivity(intent); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tested it with a map centered on somewhere in NYC, however Google maps opens not centered there. 
  I followed Android Developer's site reference to use: "geo:latitude,longitude" pattern. </p>
  
  <p>the log that you see prints:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Launching Google Maps with Uri: (geo:40763500,-73979305) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>anyone knows what can be the problem?</p>
