Maps shortcut on lockdown

Hello, I'm trying to create a lockdown profile with an in house app and Google Maps as well. I have the path to the in house app but am struggling to find the path to have a shortcut for Google Maps. Does anyone know the path to launch Google Maps. Is there a listing of built in Android apps somewhere?

Thank you and take care,

Chris

In general, depending on which Google Map apps has been bundled/installed and to be used on your device, you have to choose  the corresponding bundle-ID from the following to launch the app in your lockdown:

  com.google.android.apps.maps

  com.google.android.apps.mapslite

  com.google.android.apps.m4b

  com.google.android.apps.navlite

   etc.

Thank you for your reply, I've tired the suggestions you offered and none of them worked. I am trying this on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" sm-t387t and the command I'm trying is Launch:// and the path, is that the correct syntax?

Thank you for your help with this!

I've been thinking that perhaps the problem is how I'm making the shortcut, I'm using Launch://com.google.android.apps.navlite and have tried the other paths that you suggested but they all get the same error - Package not found. Is that the correct syntax for the path?

Thank you and take care,

The syntax shown in your post  is correct.

The Google Map app on your device probably has a Bundle-ID different from those on my partial list.

To find its name, unassign the lockdown/kiosk-mode, manually run Google-Map as the foreground app on your enrolled device.  On your web console, send an "identify_activity" script command to the device, and get the result in the logs tab.  Tthe part before the first slash (if any) is the bundle-ID.
