Generating Google Maps URL with GPS Coordinates from sheet cells and Displaying Complete URL in a cell

[FormulaGuy]

Hi
I have a worksheet that lists physical locations and 2 respective columns that display the latitude and longitude coordinates for the location in that row. I am trying to automatically generate a respective URL in the cell adjacent to the coordinates columns that displays the complete URL including the coordinates of that row. Then when I convert the worksheet to a PDF, the URL will be active and the person reading the list in the PDF format can click on the respective URL and Google Maps will open showing the location to them.
I already have a Hyperlinks function set up so the user can click on it within Excel and Google Maps opens but when I convert to PDF, that is lost.

Referring to the sample sheet below, I am trying to generate and DISPLAY the URLs in Column C based on coordinates info in Columns A & B for each row. Then when I print the sheet in PDF, the listed URL will be active. (Also if the Excel user clicks on the same URLs in Column C, Googlemaps will open as well). Also if I edit the listing to add/remove rows or just update a GPS address, I need the URLs to update somehow.

	A	B	C	D
1	Latitude	Longitude	URL Address
2	18.3	64.8	https://maps.google.com/?t=k&q=18.3,-64.8 <tbody> </tbody>
3	18.4	-65.0

<tbody>
</tbody>

I'm not handy with VBA but willing to try it out.
Thanks.

this sort of works >https://maps.google.com/?t=k&q=&"A2"&","&"B2" needs to be worked through

Thanks. I've been using that format to create the URL within Excel using the Hyperlink function.
In my sample worksheet above, i placed in Cell C2 this formula: =HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("http://maps.google.com/?t=k&q=",A2,",",B2)).
Clicking on this cell/link within Excel opens Google Maps as needed and pins the GPS coordinates of A2,B2. However when I convert the excel File to PDF, the formula in C2 is seen as a formula and not the resulting web URL so it doesn't create an active URL in the PDF. If there is a VBA code or an excel function that can generate the URL with the coordinates from A2 and B2 and then place the actual URL in C2, that would convert in PDF to a working link?

I would like to convert to a PDF with a working just like above, but have not found a solution. Exact situation as FormulaGuy above. Thank you.

FIGURED IT OUT!!! Used info from following two web pages
1) How to import Locations and open them in Google Maps | MoreApp

2) Preserve Excel hyperlinks when saving as PDF.

Only extra I did was do the hyperlink to text value conversion directly in Excel (bypassing Word).
