Instructions

      Visit Google Maps and enter the address for the location. Typically, addresses are entered in this format: 123 Anywhere Ave., Austin, TX 78735, but Google Maps is pretty good at figuring out what you need if it's formatted differently or you don't have the zip code.

      Click the "Link" hyperlink in the top right corner of the page. This will open up a dialog box that includes the URL you can link to. By using this link instead of the one in the address bar, you can be sure that the link will go to the exact page you want instead of the main Google Maps page. The dialog box also includes HTML code for embedding the map on a website.
