Start navigation automatically with Google Maps and Apple Maps URL Schemes

Question

Is there a way to start navigation automatically when launching Google Maps or Apple Maps with a URL Scheme on iOS?

I see several optional parameters for both but none to start navigation without user input.

Here's how I did it for your reference, but for apple, I haven't found a way to start the navigation through url scheme.

+ (void)navigateToLocation:(CLLocation*)_navLocation {
    if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:
         [NSURL URLWithString:@"comgooglemaps://"]]) {
        NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"comgooglemaps://?daddr=%f,%f&directionsmode=driving",_navLocation.coordinate.latitude,_navLocation.coordinate.longitude];
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:string]];
    } else {
        NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.apple.com/?ll=%f,%f",_navLocation.coordinate.latitude,_navLocation.coordinate.longitude];
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:string]];
    }
}
