Ok I've updated the link, now it should show a pointer.
By the way, I've used a new URL format which seems to work fine:

Code: Select all

https://yandex.com/maps/?ll={$longitude},{$latitude}&z={$zoom}&pt={$longitude},{$latitude}

Hi, François!

I try to share position (clip it) and open a shared link in a browser

The previous version of share is:

Code: Select all

map.coordinates.share_provider=https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&z=15&mode=whatshere&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=10

Previous version web RUS
Or if you want to have a look at English page I just substituted ru for com and it looks like this
Previous version web ENG
I can see coordinates, the nearest metro station, I can send a waypoint to any Yandex application, I can make a route (car, public transport, walking) etc. The poiter is RED.
SEE PICTURE Yandex_share-old-.jpg

The new version of share from your link is:

Code: Select all

map.coordinates.share_provider=https://yandex.com/maps/?ll={$longitude},{$latitude}&z={$zoom}&pt={$longitude},{$latitude}

New version web ENG
Please, substitute com for ru in your link
So it should be as:

Code: Select all

map.coordinates.share_provider=https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll={$longitude},{$latitude}&z={$zoom}&pt={$longitude},{$latitude}

New version web RUS
I can see only a pointer on the map nothing more. The pointer is BLUE.

Could you please leave both versions because both are helpful?

[alexlong]

Please make it similar as a told you here Yandex pointer

Open with: Other application and choose Yandex (either Yandex Maps application or any browser installed) —> I see a marker
Open with: Yandex Maps —> there is no marker. Please change it as it is in Open with: Other application choose Yandex

Hi again Alex
I start to be more complicated that I wanted here...

To sum up:

- "Share" action. This was only an action to share the GPS coordinates in the text format. I added a simple link to Google Maps following an user request. Now you can also change this Google link using the user setting "map.coordinates.share_provider=[what you want here]".

- "Open with: other application" uses something internal to Android (called an Intent). You cannot do the same thing with a link. It's an internal way in Android to ask all applications that can display a location. If you've the Yandex map installed, then this one should be displayed. I cannot device what the Yandex app will do with the location, either display a marker or do nothing. This has to be changed inside the Yandex app.

- "Open with: Yandex map": this is a shortcut to start the Yandex map, just like the other actions for Google Maps or OSM maps. It wasn't not my mean to put a pointer here, but just allow the user to switch to another map, and display the same area. If you change "Open with: Google map", there is no pointer. Since you requested a pointer, I switched from using "https://yandex.com/maps/?ll={$longitude ... }&z={$zoom}" to "https://yandex.com/maps/?ll={$longitude ... {$latitude}". This way there is no red area, I find it more clean. After, the user is free to select an area, and turn the "What's here" feature in Yandex map. What I can do is replace ".com" with ".ru", but I think that the way everything is now is fine...

[alexlong]

Ok, thanks.

[alexlong]

I overdid it, sorry. Want to have too much at a time , my fault.

[Psyberia-Support]

No it's fine!
What do you think about the sum up, is it ok for you this way? (I already updated yandex.com to yandex.ru for the next update).

Hi, François.

Sorry for troubling but I have found the correct url and right solution for Yandex share action

When you make updates in List of user settings please make two versions

1.

Code: Select all

map.coordinates.share_provider=https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll={$longitude},{$latitude}&z={$zoom}&pt={$longitude},{$latitude}

A blue pointer appears on Yandex Maps Web with no additional info (just as here —> Yandex blue pointer)

2.

Code: Select all

map.coordinates.share_provider=https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&z=15&mode=whatshere&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=19

A red pointer appears on Yandex Maps Web with additional info such as pointer coordinates, ability to make a route, to send a marked place to Yandex.Maps and Yandex.Navigator applications as favourites places. One can also see additional information on the Yandex web as nearest metros, and streets etc. (just as here —> Yandex red pointer)

I consider it very important because when I share an AlpineQuest waypoint as coordinates with a link on Yandex Maps, one will open it on desktop PC (or in device browser, it does not really matter) so a person has much more info to operate with shared waypoint and it is very handy.

I spend some time trying to find out the correct link and understood that we used 10 at the end of the link

Code: Select all

url=https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll=30.3317141%2C59.9436639&z=15&mode=whatshere&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D=30.3317141%2C59.9436639&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=10

It stands for municipal area in Yandex maps.
I noticed that the correct figure should be 19 and it stands for the real pointer name as it is on Yandex maps

Code: Select all

url=https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll=30.3317141%2C59.9436639&z=15&mode=whatshere&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D=30.3317141%2C59.9436639&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=19

When I substituted 10 for 19 everyting became right on the map.

Please make two versions

In any case on 4pda.ru I will offer both versions.

Thanks
Sorry my for persistence

[alexlong]

What do you think about the sum up?

I thing it good.

Version 2.0.4 is now available.

You can use various user settings to choose your own Yandex Maps URL.
By default, Yandex is:

Code: Select all

​map.coordinates.openwith_provider.yandex=https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll={$longitude},{$latitude}&z={$zoom}&mode=whatshere&whatshere[point]={$longitude},{$latitude}&whatshere[zoom]={$zoom}

By using the "{$zoom}" variable, you can have both behaviors with the same link.
