Turn by Turn Directions on Google Maps via PhoneGap

I tried this on my Chrome web browser on Android 4.4. And it worked perfectly. My code was:

window.open("google.navigation:q=29.589241,79.646666");

You could also add the mode of navigation by adding the "mode" parameter to the query.

I would also recommend reading up the following:
