Hi @tdsrhh , I will confirm that with our devs, but yes, this should be possible.
As far as I know - for instance - we support intent sent from PlugShare app while using Android Auto head unit.
I will get back to you shortly.1 -
Hi, following should work OK with our app, I just checked and I managed to open the intent:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d geo:52.233333,21.016667
I also received following from devs that could be helpful:

Thank you for the quick and accurate feedback.
If I need to navigate to an address given as text. Is this possible ?

Yup, it works OK:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d geo:0,0?q=Prosta+51,+Warszawa
oradb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d geo:0,0?q=$(echo 'Prosta 51, Warszawa' | sed 's/ /\+/g')1 -
Yes it works perfectly fine. For coordinates, make sure to remove brackets before sending to TomTom. Also only comma between latitude and longitude, remove any spaces.2
