Make an URL point to google maps app on Nokia (symbian)

The iPhone has a functionality that when a google maps URL is typed into (or linked) the mobile browser it wi开发者_开发知识库ll open the Google Maps app instead of displaying it in the mobile browser.

Now I'm wondering if that same functionality exists for say a Nokia (Symbian) phone? Is there a way to set up the link to open the Google maps app on the Symbian phone?

You might want to look at this related stackoverflow question.

The Nokia Ovi Store does something similar, it pops up the store when you access a URL through the browser. I don't know how they do it though.

Not that straightforward or helpful in all cases, but at least in the latest Symbian^3, if you have Google Maps installed, pointing the browser to a .kml file (served with correct MIME type) seems to open the file in Google Maps application automatically.
