Google Maps Link Generator

How to use

1. 1Pick the link type at the top: Search, Directions, Street View, Embed iframe, or geo: URI.
2. 2Fill in the fields for the selected mode. Searches accept a place name or a latitude and longitude pair; Directions accepts an optional origin, a destination, a travel mode, and optional waypoints (one per line or semicolon-separated).
3. 3For Embed, set the width and height (pixels or 100%) and an accessible title, then check the live in-page preview before you copy the iframe HTML.
4. 4Click Open in Google Maps to verify the URL renders the expected place or route, or Copy URL to copy the link as-is.
5. 5Use the HTML anchor and Markdown snippets to drop the link into a CMS, README, transactional email, or vCard. Toggle the new tab and nofollow options to match your site's link policy.

About this tool

Google Maps Link Generator builds shareable Google Maps URLs entirely in your browser, with no API key, no signup, and no account. Five link types cover the situations that show up on real contact pages, business directories, vCards, event invites, and hiking notes. Search produces a /maps/search/?api=1&query=... URL that opens Google Maps on a place name, full address, plus code, or raw latitude and longitude; an optional label is appended when sharing coordinates so the pin in Maps shows a friendly name instead of a number pair. Directions produces a /maps/dir/?api=1 URL with destination plus an optional origin (leave blank to start from the user's current location), a travel mode (driving, walking, bicycling, transit, or two-wheeler), and up to nine waypoints joined with the documented pipe separator. Street View produces a /maps/@?api=1&map_action=pano viewpoint URL with optional heading (0 to 360 degrees), pitch (-90 to 90), and field of view (10 to 100) so a real-estate listing or museum guide can land visitors on the exact panorama and angle that show the building. Embed produces a /maps?q=...&output=embed iframe variant which works in any static page without an API key, with a live in-page preview, configurable width and height (pixels or 100%), an accessible iframe title, and a ready-to-paste lazy-loaded HTML snippet. geo: URI produces an RFC 5870 geo: URI with optional zoom and label that opens the user's preferred map app on Android, iOS, and most desktop platforms (Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap clients, and others), which is ideal for vCards, QR codes, and printed signage that should respect user choice. Every URL is constructed using URLSearchParams and encodeURIComponent so commas, spaces, emojis, and non-ASCII place names survive the round trip; latitude is validated against -90 to 90 and longitude against -180 to 180. The Open in Google Maps button uses target="_blank" with rel="noopener noreferrer" so the new tab cannot reach back into this page. HTML anchor and Markdown snippets are also produced for the non-embed link types, with optional nofollow and new-tab toggles, so the link can be dropped into a CMS, README, or transactional email without rewriting. All construction runs locally on your device, so the addresses, coordinates, and labels you type here are never uploaded to a server.
