Microsoft Access and My Google maps or Bing Maps or Any Map Application
Good Day!
I would just like to ask whether anybody has used MS Access and use it with Google Maps or Any customized Maps?
I have tried opening Google Maps with GPS Coordinates using
"http://maps.google.com/maps?q=" & strGPSCoordinates and it runs well.
However, when I used MyMaps shared link, I don't know where to put the parameters for the strGPSCoordinates. A sample string for the saved MyMaps is like this :
"https://maps.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1Vk8Pbs9o8wz6X-ZSyA7Qm_ZOHeoA5QiQ&usp=sharing"
Does anybody have any idea where I could insert the parameter for strGPSCoordinates?
or anyone who could suggest a good Map App that could be customized and used with MS Access?
Thanks in advance.

P.S. Customization of Maps is very much needed for showing certain properties on the Map.

You should be able to place a web browser control in a form in your Access relational database application that will open the appropriate URL.
You'll need to use a VBA procedure to craft that URL to get the required results with the specific coordinates.
