Solved: Map in email template not usable - Page 2

Hi everyone.

Im using a lat/long column [location] in an email template.

This: "<<[location]>> " brings up an image of the map in different sizes as explained here:

The problem I have is that when the image is clicked on, it opens a static map of the location, meaning I cannot zoom or navigate around to know where exactly is the location.

Does anyone know how to avoid this, and just get a clickable link to google maps?

Or else how to create a clickable link for the template?
I tried https://www.google.com/maps/place/<<[Ubicación]>>
When clicking on the link It opens up google maps but it doesnt go to the location. It seems the same behavior happening on the link on this comment.

Although if the URL in the email is copied and pasted in a browser it does work properlly and redirects the map to the actual location…
This is an example URL: https://www.google.com/maps/place/18.521849, -89.446721

Solved it.

Google docs was forcing a link to be generated in the template, i had to eliminate this format in the first place, because the email generates another link, so this means a duplicate search URL (you can see this in my previous post screenshot).

Also I had to use SUBSTITUTE() to delete the extra spaces from the URL.

Thanks @tsuji_koichi for your guidance.
