I'll have a look at this.

Note that Intents are already supported in the app.
What you've displayed is a HTML link...

I think you need to support android.intent.category.BROWSABLE .

P.S., I didn't get any email notification that you replied.

I am writing an HTML page that I will put on the /sdcard
and will open with the built-in HTML viewer stock app.

Is there any href="" that I can use today that will launch Offline Maps with a given lat/long ?

I think

Hi again,
I was going to work on this feature when I saw that "geo:" URLs are already supported if there is no parameter (you can check the examples given here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_URI_scheme).
I have improved this to better support this scheme, this will be in the next update.
I won't add google urls for now, there are too much different formats, most without coordinates (only a place name to search), so it's a bit out of scope (and if google is supported, why not bing maps, osm maps, etc).
Best regards
