 * Hi,
 * Have a client that wants me to list their address in the sidebar of their site.
 * THEN – when they view it on a mobile phone they want to be able to touch the 
   address and be able to bring up a google map of the location.
 * I have no idea how to do this.
 * Any help?

 * Hi, one way to do this is the following:
 * In Google maps, locate their address on a map.
 * Adjust the map to how you want it to look, eg, zoom level, etc.
 * Copy the URL of the Google map from your browser’s address bar.
 * In WP put a text widget in the sidebar.
 * Paste the URL into the Text widget.
 * Add some nice descriptive text, have the link open in a new tab, etc.
 * Done!
 * You can also take a look for plugins……
