URL map options

Here is how I'm using a couple features of the plugin, plus one feature request.

Feature request: Option to change the map source that populates the variable. At a minimum, switch between phone / desktop links (switch between http:// and comgooglemaps://). When you remove the first part and put http://, it gets translated from lat/long decimal to lat/long h,m,s on google.com/maps/place... takes a couple seconds, but it opens and goes to the correct geographic location.

On a control page, I can use the Variable URL redirect feature in a button to send me to the google maps app. <-- I didn't see anything on how to use the variable map location.... I probably missed it in the writeup.... but that is the answer in case someone else missed it. For more info on variable URL redirect... see -> https://www.indigodomo.com/library/405/

The other thing I figured out today is how to link directly to the FindMy app on my phone so I can include that in any mobile notification triggered by the plugin. (if I don't want to use google maps)

The app URLs I've got working at the moment are:

To the last page viewed on the FindMy app
Code: Select all
findmy://

To the devices tab:
Code: Select all
findmy://devices

To the items tab:
Code: Select all
findmy://items

To the "me" tab:
Code: Select all
findmy://me

Lastly, and probably the one most useful, to your People tab:
Code: Select all
findmy://friends
