How to share MAPS LINKS

In this post, I will demonstrate how you can find and copy links to places on Google Maps and share them on Connect or elsewhere.

Below are 2 videos demonstrating the necessary steps on respectively a desktop computer and on an Android device.

Cheers

Morten

TEXT USED IN THE VIDEOS:

Simply insert the link like this:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/149jsuXWod2xaico8

OR you can more elegantly make some relevant text clickable:

Visit Kronborg Castle in Denmark. It is also known as the “Hamlet Castle”.

When you want to share your Maps profile link, the proces is very similar.

On Android you just open your profile page at tap the Share icon as shown above.

Then tap the Copy to clipboard link in the lower left corner. That is pretty easy.

Alternatively, you can normally also find the link on your a Connect profile page.

Just long press the blue link shown above.

Then this menu shows up. Tap Copy link address. That’s it.

Cheers

@Nguthijosephk

You don’t have to share the links to your Connect profile and your Maps profile. They can both be found easily by anyone here on Connect.
