How to convert an address into a Google Maps Link (NOT MAP)

Question

After looking (Googling) on the web for a while, I can find nothing that takes an address like:

1200 Pennsylvania Ave SE, Washington, District of Columb

Answer 1

I had a similar issue where I needed to accomplish this for every address on the site (each wrapped in an address tag). This bit of jQuery worked for me. It'll grab each

tag and wrap it in a google maps link with the address the tag contains contains!

$("address").each(function(){

    var address = $(this).text().replace(/\,/g, '');
    var url = address.replace(/\ /g, '%20');

    $(this).wrap('');

});
