I'm building a website (html / php / javascript / css) with integration with google maps using the JavaScript API.

function initMap() {
    var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService;
    var directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer;
    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
        zoom: 11,
        center: cidade
    });

    directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
    //Painel texto
    calculateAndDisplayRoute(directionsService, directionsDisplay);
    directionsDisplay.setPanel(document.getElementById('right-panel'));
}

function calculateAndDisplayRoute(directionsService, directionsDisplay) {
  directionsService.route({
    origin: document.getElementById('endOrigem').value,
    destination: document.getElementById('endDest').value,
    waypoints: waypoints,
    travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING
  }, function(response, status) {
    if (status === google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
      directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
    } else {
      window.alert('ERRO!!');
    }
  });
}

So far everything is working perfectly. The route opens in a div on the site itself.

What I need is when I go to the site with Android / iOS that Route is opened in the user's Maps, or at least ask the user if he wants to open it on Brownser or Maps.

I do not know how to pass these parameters (source, destination and waypoints ) in the url?!

You should do via Intent

example:

Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
Uri.parse("https://maps.google.ch/maps?saddr=[address1]&daddr=[address2] to:[address3] to: [address4]"));
startActivity(intent);

Change [address #] with waypoints

There are two ways you can do this.

Geo

You can use the Android geo API for this by passing the address or the coordinates. An example usage would look like this:

 <p><a href="google.navigation:q=San+Francisco">Navigation to San Francisco</a></p>
 <p><a href="google.navigation:q=50,10">Navigation to 50/10</a></p>

See the official documentation

Open the google maps address with the search

You can move the link with the address searched, so Android will suggest to use a map application such as Google Maps.

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=street+adress&daddr=street+address

Examples of uses

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Geo Link Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p><a href="geo:50,10">Location 50/10</a></p>
        <p><a href="geo:Vienna">Location Vienna</a></p>
        <p><a href="geo:?z=5&q=New+York">Zoom 5, Search for New York</a></p>
        <p><a href="geo:?q=San+Francisco&z=15">Zoom 15, Search for San Francisco</a></p>
        <p><a href="google.navigation:q=San+Francisco">Navigation to San Francisco</a></p>
        <p><a href="google.navigation:q=50,10">Navigation to 50/10</a></p>
        <p><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=New+York&daddr=San+Francisco">Route New York --> San Francisco</a></p>
        <p><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=50,10&daddr=50,20">Route 50/10 --> 50/20</a></p>
    </body>
</html>

There are some things that will not work as expected because you are not using it natively, but this is the best way to do what you want without using any other language / framework.
