title: How do I show a marker in Maps launched by geo URI Intent?
body: <p>I have a application where I want to show different locations (one at the time, picked by user input) by launching Google Maps with their specific geo coordinates.</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently using this (with real lat. and long. values of course):</p>
  
  <pre><code>Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:&lt;lat&gt;,&lt;long&gt;?z=17"));
  startActivity(intent);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It's quite exactly what I want, except that it doesn't show any indicator or marker for the specified point. It only centers at it's location.</p>
  
  <p>Is there some way to get the marker or something else included without using a MapView?</p>
