Oh thanks. It sounds terrific but how do I do that. With a math field? the data is stored in Airtable. Maybe I can do this there? Still doesn’t know how to. ---

I actually just did this & integrated it into an email message template. You probably wouldn’t use a math field. You could also use a Template column here in Glide. For example: Create your Template column & under “TEMPLATE” type something like `http://maps.google.com/maps?q=coord&ll=coord` . Then under “REPLACEMENTS” type something like coord in the left box & click the " ⋮ " button to the right of the box on the right & select the column where you store your addresses or GPS coordinates. (Note that if that column tends to have spaces in it, you may also need to make another Template column that references the address/coordinate column & replaces any spaces with either nothing (for GPS coordinates) or &32; (the html code for space if you need a space in an address)) ---
