Using Edge Control and Bing
Christian Pace

I gave it a shot with microsoft products cause we do prefer windows devices to control how data is used anyway.
I wanted the rescue intake form to allow user to search the map if value is null, obtain coordinates from the map and paste them into the control for that data, and have the map update on current and on load.

Private Sub UpdateMap()
    Dim location As String
    location = Nz(Me.RescueLocation.Value, "")
    
    Dim mapURL As String
    If location <> "" Then
        mapURL = "https://www.bing.com/maps?q=" & location
    Else
        ' Default URL to open Bing Maps with a search bar
        mapURL = "https://www.bing.com/maps"
    End If
    
    Me.EdgeBrowser31.Navigate mapURL
End Sub


Works well so far. If you share that map location (link) to any device and ask for directions it will launch those directions in whatever app you have installed for that. Thats my experience sending it to my whatsapp in android at least.

Could it fail? im not great at this.
