    How to open Google Maps with GPS Co-Ordinates

    Hi,

    I have a VLOOKUP formula that puts GPS co-ordinates into a cell based on other info. I would like to create a command button that would open the GPS co-ordinates up in a web browser and take direclty to google maps with the GPS co-ords supplied. The GPS co-ords will be in the format (or I can change to make it easier) -123456, 987654.
    Any suggestions. thanks

    Re: How to open Google Maps with GPS Co-Ordinates

    Thanks Kyle123 thats just what I wanted, just another question for improvement - it opens google maps with the gps co-ords and has a drop pin (A) in the location. Is there anyway of automatically adding a title or anyother info. i.e. saying Bobs House, 123 Kangaroo Court etc
    cheers
