Is there a tutorial on how to pass an address to Google Maps?

Ex: 123 nowhere st, NC. 12345

Thank you

Yes. This is MIT's tutorial Map It: Displaying Locations on a Google Map

There are many ways to do this using:

  • ActivityStarter displays a map using the Google Map app (simple)

    asMap2
    asMap2762×175 28.4 KB

  • App Inventor Map component displays an OpenStreetMap map. (more complicated but flexible)

  • Google Static Maps using Google API and WebViewer. Places location on a real Google Map. (slightly more complex than using Map component.

There are many examples in the community.
