CPE - Ability to Link Addresses to Navigation Apps

[FCC]

We send out a lot of addresses in our notices to people & think it could be helpful to recipients to be able to click on the address listed & it jump to a map on google / apple maps

Hello @FCC ,

This would currently be possible by linking directly to a map search using the normal linking methods when building emails. Additioanlly, some (not all) email programs and apps automatically convert recognized address setups in plaint-text, and will auto-format these to be clickable links for the device's preferred map program. Some browsers will also recognize when an address is highlighted, and will offer to redirect to a map program / site associated with the browser.

With your product idea, is it that you want us to integrate with a specific map platform for a particular action block? Or are you wanting some kind of internal coding for emails to mark a specific set of text as being a clickable address link when sent out?

I think some sort of internal coding would be most helpful in this particular situation. Our feedback has been that linking it like normal has a hit or miss effect.
