Hello,

How can I put in an external link to a Google Maps Marker (Place), example:
hidden link, 5.680801" target = "_ blank "rel =" noopener "data-wplink -url-error = "true"> route </ a >
instead of fixed coordinates insert the shortcodes of my "address" field or the "Longitude" and "Latitude" fields to dynamically use the coordinates in a content template.

My address field outputs the coordinates as follows:
{49.80087506277369,10.167969154320655}

Thank you!

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Currently, the button block, which may be the link, does not support pulling the latitude and longitude from an address field. So, you will need to use Types shortcodes to pull the coordinates. You can use shortcodes inside a "Fields&Text" block or inside a Classic block.
The Types shortcode accepts a format attribute that can take a placeholder for the latitude and longitude. Check the summary in this previous ticket https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-use-the-longitude-and-latitude-fields-in-a-view/
I was able to build a link for a "location " field with the following code:

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em> field='location' format='FIELD_LATITUDE, FIELD_LONGITUDE'][/types]">Go to map</a>

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
