How Do I Create Google Map Links?

Sharing a Google Map link is simple.

Google Maps is an interface designed to show step-by-step directions, estimate travel time or show you a city map. If you wish to share your findings with others, you can't simply copy and paste the link shown in your browser's address bar. You must get a special link to send the link to friends.

Instructions

1. Navigate to the Google Maps website. Click "Get Directions" to the left side of your screen. Type in the starting point of your directions in the "A" box and the destination in the "B" box. Click "Get Directions."

2. Click "Link" at the top-right corner of the map. Press "Ctrl" and "C" simultaneously to copy the link under "Paste Link for email or IM." Press "Ctrl" and "V" to paste the link wherever there's a text area to type in.

3. Click "Send" in the top-right corner to send the link through email automatically. Enter the recipient's email address and your address and create a custom message. Click "Send" and type in the random code when asked. Click "Continue" to finish.
