hi all

I have a text item that has GPS coordinates like this

51.815150, 5.521924

I want to make a button when I press it, these coordinates appear to me on Google Maps

Is this possible

I'm not sure if its possible to use coordinates in the format you gave (51.815150, 5.521924)
But if you would convert that format to this format: 51°48'54.5"N+5°31'18.9"E
then in Forms under the button just write something like:

HOST('"c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "https://www.google.com/maps/place/' || :block3.text_item1 || '"');

and it works fine.

there is a problem

My project is running on vps
And contact him from the client via the following link

http://xxx.180.213.161:8889/forms/frmservlet?config=km

The problem is when I press the button
The map open on the server, not in my client
