Coerce Google Maps in Web Viewer to NOT use Mobile Mode on iPad

I am using a Web Viewer in FMP 12 to do some Google Map routing displays.

 

On my iMac it shows the route graphically, which is what I want.

 

On my iPad it defaults to the mobile display showing text descriptions of turns, etc. by default.

 

I am trying to 'coerce' the Web Viewer to show me the 'standard' non-mobile display in the iPad, while keeping the mobile option for another layout that I'll use on the iPhone.

 

As an example, a current calculated URL for Google Maps reads as follows, and I haven't been able to find anything telling me how to coerce it to not use mobile on an iPad:

Thanks, David
