Hi,

In my meeting management application, I am trying to send the meeting location information via mail and in the mail content I would like to place a link to to the google map site, so that the meeting place could be seen on the map.

What would be the best way to construct the google map url string (eg. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=address) , for a particular address.

Thanks

Reducing the clutter of arguments to a minimum, this seems to work pretty well: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1+infinite+loop,+cupertino,+CA

If you really want to be minimal, you can omit "/maps" and just write http://maps.google.com?q=1+infinite+loop+cupertino+CA and Google Maps ignores punctuation, so you never need comma and space together.
