[Solved]-Linking to a custom google map-eclipse

i've decided to just pass the information over to google maps app and let them help by creating a button that simply launches google maps with the link to the specific map as a datauri. heres the code below for my solution, if anyone else with a similar need stumbles across this.

button map = (button)findviewbyid(r.id.map);
        map.setonclicklistener(new onclicklistener() {
            public void onclick(final view v) {
            string uri = string.format("https://maps.google.co.uk/....."); // the link copied and pasted from my maps in google 
            intent intent = new intent(intent.action_view, uri.parse(uri));
            startactivity(intent);
                }
            });
