  Mapping Url Examples

  • Google Maps: maps.google.com/maps?f=q%26source=s_q%26geocode=%26q={0}
  • Bing Maps: www.bing.com/maps/?v=2%26where1={0}

Some mapping sites such as Yahoo maps will not let you open a map from within a html iframe which is what is used to show the map within a tab in the web client.
