Open Google map with specific address in a browser [closed]

Question

What is the url structure to search for an address in Google Maps?

I want to offer an address on my website that, when clicked, it will open google maps directly to an address from my script.

I want to create a link <a href="..."></a> which will open a Google Maps browser page that shows a map of a street address from my script.

Answer 1

You can do it like this:

this is your href: http://maps.google.com/?q= everything that goes after q will be filled in the search filled and submitted, for example: 1200 Pennsylvania Ave SE, Washington, District of Columbia, 20003

So the link looks like this: <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=1200 Pennsylvania Ave SE, Washington, District of Columbia, 20003">...</a>

If you need the "q" to be dynamic you can do it with simple jQuery code to update your href.
