      I’m trying to figure out a way to hyperlink street addresses (where they will pull up on google maps) and automatic this process. I know I can go in and do them one by one but I’m trying to find a faster way. Does anyone know of a script that would do this?

      A script could certainly achieve this. However it would require to either know the exact adress (so the script can look for it) or that the adress matches a certain regular pattern (so the script can find occurences via GREP).

      Here’s initial version of the script:
      https://www.dropbox.com/s/p788kiqhscyb5o5/Google%20Maps%20-%20get%20map%20URL.jsx?dl=0

      WARNING: this script is in early stage and might not work properly, so save before using this script!

      Usage:
      – Create character style named “Address”
      – Apply it to text that contains address you want to point to
      – Run this script
      – Check Hyperlinks panel

      Known issues:
      – if there are more than one instances of the same address – the second and all other instances will cause a script error

      How you mark your addresses? Do they have some Character/Paragraph style applied?
