The process of opening a browser in google maps at the selected address worked fine until I got to an address where someone had included an ampersand in the middle of the street address. Example: SE Corner Hwy 79 & Butterfield Ranch Road
Path: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=
Address: SE Corner Hwy 79 & Butterfield Ranch Road+Temecula+CA+92592
URL: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=SE Corner Hwy 79 & Butterfield Ranch Road+Temecula+CA+92592
When the url string is passed to the browser, the address is cutoff at the ampersand and I am asked if I meant Missouri or Nebraska. I have enclosed the address part in parentheses and double quotes without success. If I open Google maps manually and paste in the address part I get the correct location. I realize the obvious answer is to replace all ampersands with the word "and", but I wanted to see if there is a way to pass the ampersand without it being interpreted as programming language.
As always, thanks for you help
