How cool is this! I wasn't aware of this feature :)

This requires a menu, so when one or more map apps are installed, either native or Android, the user could be offered to us his/her choice of map application.

Perhaps the OP should convert his question to a 'feature request' for extra options.

@fmotl do you have a link to application "sailfish-maps"? i cannot find it on open repos or in the jolla store.

Perhaps it's not available for SFOS builds on Turing devices. Try installing directly via terminal, with pkcon install sailfish-maps

fmotl is right, install regular maps! Really nice feature, I wasn't aware of this.
Request: Please enable this for Calendar

There is this nice location pin and it doesn't do anything ):(

PS: Upvote fmotl, not me.

@hoschi apparently Jolla licensed phones dont have Maps feature and you canyt install it. Here WeGo doesnyt work as a straight substitute and is pretty slow to launch on my Turing phone.

You could rephrase your issue a bit so it's a feature request that this should be a URL that's accessible by any installed maps application, not just sailfish-maps.

No duplicate. The link help to solve the problem bevore 2.1.0.9! It worked with 2.0.5.6 There is no map-application which works on pressing the button "show on map" in contacts. Only sailfish-maps works with this feature.
