Hello,
I just wanted to share a little trick i ran across. Even though filemaker 9 and above can have google maps in a web viewer, sometimes it is more desirable to have it open a map in a separate web browser page. Here is what I did to get address info to load into google maps:
I created a text field with the following calculated value, where VenueAddress2, VenueCity, and VenueState are fields from an address database. When you do an openURL script it brings you to a hybrid view of the address in a new browser window.
"http://maps.google.com/maps?q=" & VenueAddress2 & "+" & VenueCity & "+" & VenueState & "&t=h&iwloc=A&hl=en"
& Substitute(mapURL;" ";"+")
enjoy
