How do I make a street address clickable…

By MichelleEdward, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

We recently finished our Vantage Premium site and when I look at the contact page on my apple phone and clicked on our street address it doesn’t ‘go anywhere’.

Is there a way to make the street address clickable so it goes to the default navigation on the mobile device? (i.e.: apple navigation)

I am a ‘real noob’ so any help you can give would be great.

Thanks so much,
Michelle

    Hi MichelleEdward

    Try installing and inserting the Visual Editor widget: http://wordpress.org/plugins/black-studio-tinymce-widget/ which will give you an editor to work with in Page Builder.

    Let me know if that works out for you

    Cheers

    Yes, I have installed this and am using the Visual Editor inside of many pages. It is a wonderful addition.

    Here’s a little more info…I know how to link a street address to Google Maps using the visual editor and have done so. As a result a customer clicked on the link only to find out they wanted him to ‘sign in’ before he could use google maps…. therefore he couldn’t get to the navigation/GPS to give him directions from his phone.

    Is there a way to link the street address so it uses his phone’s default ‘map/ browser/nav sys’ instead?

    Often, when I use a site on my mobile and I click on an address – I am re-directed to the ‘Apple Map / GPS Nav Sys’ in my iphone for directions. This is precisely what I would like to do, but I’m afraid I don’t know how.

    Thanks,
    Michelle

    Hey Michelle

    Thanks for reaching out, this is a really good question. I spent a while looking now. Unlike the easy Skype protocol for HTML link it seems there isn’t yet a protocol out for this. There are ways of doing it but it requires custom coding. I wish I had a better reply but it doesn’t seem like this is easily accessible yet.

    If you create a custom map in Google Maps, you could link to that. You could also embed a map on your page. Our Widgets Bundle has a maps widget if you need one:

    Hope that helps a bit.
