I would like to know how can I share the link of google map direction on button click. As Share block doesnt have the option currently (or I dont know how).
I can visualise the direction on web view but it is not convenient for the user of the system.
Thanks

You can use `share message` and in the message type:
```auto
https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=47.5951518%2C-122.3316393
```
Where 47.5951518%2C-122.3316393 is the latitude: longitude

Thank you @muneer I have tried it but it shares the link as a text. So it suggest the social media apps and so but not google map

To automatically open Google maps use the following
```auto
http://maps.google.com/maps?q= latitude,longitude
```
Replace the latitude and longitude with your coordinates

Hi @muneer Sorry for the late reply. I have tried that one as well, but the same results. It just share it as a text not a link to open the app.

The subject of the topic is “How can I share…” but if you want to open the Maps App then use the `Open Link` component in the `Control` drawer.

Okay sorry for the confusion. Can you point me to where I can find it (like a screenshot or something). I am using xthunkable (not the drag and drop version, but the other one).
