This should do the trick:

in your app.js:

Ti.Geolocation.purpose = "Receive user location";
Ti.Geolocation.accuracy = Ti.Geolocation.ACCURACY_BEST;
Ti.Geolocation.preferredProvider = "gps";
Ti.Geolocation.distanceFilter = 10;
 
var userpos={};
 
Titanium.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(e) {
    if(!e.success) {
        alert('Could not retrieve location');
 
    }else{
        userpos.longitude = e.coords.longitude;
        userpos.latitude = e.coords.latitude;
    }
});

and then anywhere you want to call the maps apps:

button.addEventListener('click',function(){
    Ti.Platform.openURL('http://maps.google.com/maps?ll='+userpos.latitude+','+userpos.longitude);
});

you may have to add some controls to check if you really have the user location (maybe the user didn't accept to be located... )

Try using parameters, this should open the Maps App (on a device, does not work on simulator):

Ti.Platform.openURL('http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=San+Francisco,+CA&saddr=cupertino');
