RE: even if I did make it a clickable link, it seems it only takes you to a certain page I would designate, not open in maps.

Correct, that is why I can not make the entire address a link (clickable) because it is invalid HTML. You can not have links within links.

RE: I don’t know why when I’m on mobile and I hold an address on other website it bring it up in maps for me like normal, but this address doesn’t activate the maps for some reason.

Interesting … can you share a link and which device you are using? I’ve looked at random sites I could find that had an address or two and could not replicate such functionality. I can only do the copy/paste that I’ve always have done.

RE: I think adding a button below the address might be helpful, there have been many times I have been on the road & frustratingly trying to copy or get an address to open in maps. … So how would I add a button to do that?

Unless you are very familiar with PHP, this would not be an easy task.
