Clickable text address that opens map directions?
-
I have a client who would like the ability to click on a text link with the address of his business and have it open a page with directions to that business.
The website is http://shamrockranchkennels.com/.
Here is what he is specifically asking:
On a desktop or laptop computer, go to https://www.bing.com/ and search for Shamrock Ranch. On the results page, click on the Directions button. You’ll notice that it takes you to a Bing Maps page that allows you to easily get directions.
Now, on an iPhone, go to http://www.bing.com/ and search for Shamrock Ranch. On the results page, tap on the Directions button. You’ll notice that it doesn’t go to a Bing Maps page; it actually opens up the Maps app included with iOS.
That’s how the physical address link should work on the Web site. The physical address should display as a link that says, “100 Shamrock Ranch Road, Pacifica, CA 94044.” When clicked on a desktop or laptop computer, it should take you to a Google Maps page. When tapped on an iPhone (or another smartphone), it should open the address via the built-in Maps app on your phone.
Does the WP Google Maps plugin offer this possibility? If not, is there a plugin out there that does what he wants?
Thanks in advance.
