Tip of the day: Map Links on Mac and iOS

As described on Apple's website you can use special links to open Map app on Mac and iOS. For example here are two links:

http://maps.apple.com/maps?q=Nickenich
http://maps.apple.com/maps?daddr=Berlin&saddr=Paris

So the URL always begins with http://maps.apple.com/? and you add parameters. Like q for a simple search. You can use saddr and daddr to provide source and destination address for a route. You can include type of map with t parameter with "m" for map, "k" for satellite and "h" for hybrid.

Those URLs work fine on Mac desktop and iOS devices with FileMaker, Xojo and Real Studio. Claris FileMaker Plugin
