Answer 1

As of 2017 the recommended by Google method is the Google Maps URLs:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/guide#directions-action

You can create a cross-platform universal URL for Google directions following the documentation and use the URL in your intents. For example the URL might be something like

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=60.626200,16.776800&travelmode=driving

Answer 2

You can use Ionic Native Launch Navigator now to load the native maps app to a destination. You can specify the app launchnavigator.APP.GOOGLE_MAPS or the user can specify.

Pass the lat long as first argument as shown here

this.launchNavigator.navigate([50.279306, -5.163158], options)
  .then(
    success => console.log('Launched navigator'),
    error => console.log('Error launching navigator', error)
  );
