Just a quick addition, on the original question of how to link out to Google Maps on mobile: for iOS (and I think this will work the same on Android), I was able to use this URLs directly from this Developer Guide (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/guide), and they all worked fine. I did not need to prefix with "external" or "maps" - in fact those did not work for me.

I was able to get this to work: "https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=centurylink+field" in an External Site link.

I set up a variable with it so I can pass in an address and get driving directions to show up immediately.

Then I build the link according to Google's Developer Guide (linked above).

With this sort of work being done on your address:

Thanks,

----Erik
