I there a way to post a googlemaps link

Hi I would like to know if there is any trick or workaround to put a long link in a posted activity without it being broken down.


or even better, is it possible to put assign a short text to hyperlink, i.e. if in my post I would like to publish something like this: "tour map" and have this hyperlinked to a google maps much longer link like the following:


http://maps.google.it/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Quai+Charles-Page&daddr=Rte+de+l%27Uche+to:46.1515238,6.1394126+to:Ch.+du+Relai+to:Ch.+des+Grands-Buissons+to:46.1745602,6.0828893+to:Rte+des+Acacias&hl=it&geocode=FVLbwAIdOLBdAA%3BFZpwwAIdakZeAA%3BFWM3wAIdFK5dACntEVFqUHqMRzGSzNI3BAf13A%3BFVBKwAIdSvlcAA%3BFbBkwAIdBGhcAA%3BFWCRwAIdSdFcACnhQZemm3yMRzGcWG9IWTMNyA%3BFcjYwAIdsKtdAA&mra=dme&mrsp=3&sz=13&via=2,5&sll=46.173768,6.096554&sspn=0.076196,0.124283&ie=UTF8&z=13


thanks

Here you are...

I think that if you create an account in bit.ly, you will be able to give a proper name instead of a code.

Of course you can. Just write the text you want to link to, such as "tour map". Then select the text and the icon that looks like a fragment of a chain on the toolbar of the composing window becomes active. Click on it and you can enter your link in the box that opens. There you go!

Activate the short links in Google Maps (you may need an account) or create a hyperlink as indicated by Catalin
