Is there a way to make an address clickable so when a user clicks it bring up a Google map for that address without utilizing a block?

I didn’t want to save a map just link to google maps.
Justin gave me the exact solution I was looking for:

"https://www.google.com/maps/place/" &

ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT(Street & ", " & City & ", " & State & " " & ZIP)

I can then shrink down the column width and click on the cell. Perfect!
Thanks all for the suggestions.
Much Appreciate since it’s only my second day with Airtable.

Is there a way to do this for Streetview URLs?

I believe streetview URLs are cast only as lat/lng values. But, they could be used to reverse-encode for street addresses. The difficulty is - what address to use when the location is the center of a street and equidistances to the nearest actual address?

Make a Button field and for URL formula, use the previous formula or something like this if you have the whole address in a text field:

"https://www.google.com/maps?q="&ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT(Address))

and it will make clickable links in a field:

There should really be an Address field type, though, with auto-complete/auto-correct from Google Maps API, etc. since it’s such a common field to need.
