I am having an issue. I want to be able to use my location URL generated from GPS coordinates to create an address. I want to check the address generated via GPS coordinates.

The standard structure is:

```auto
https://www.google.com/maps?q=lat,lon

```

You should have your Construct URL column like this:

```auto
https
www.google.com
maps

```

Query parameters: q =\> gps\_coordinates

You need an API to generate addresses on Google Maps.

Use the javascript field and write the following code:

`return p1.split(',')[0];` for latitude and `return p1.split(',')[1];` for longitude.
