I am suggesting a type of label which would start up the map feature or the navigation on a mobile device. This label would be similar to the TMS control TIWIPhoneLocationLabel.

google maps has several ways to work with an url

Do you suggest Name, Lattitude and Longitude?

I would suggest being able to use the address. Longitude and Latitude are helpful if used in conjunction with the GPS Phonegap libraries on a device but unless there is some other way to resolve the Longitude and Latitude from an address, I believe the address is the my most common usage. Below is a link I used for my own reference.

Now, on with the guideā€¦ http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?

f=q
This sets what kind of display the user is presented with. Can be set to q (the standard layout), d (for directions) or l (for local). Defaults to q.

q=location+goes+here

The query string. Words are separated by + signs. You can enter an address, a town, city or village, postcodes, variables of latitude and longitude (in either decimal form or as degrees, minutes and seconds) and landmarks.
