Hello, I have features with geometries stored in a db. My process is manually currently:

1. Reading the features from db and displaying on inspector with a background map.

2. Open Google maps. Find the feature on google map. (for the example in this screenshot, it should be something similar to https://www.google.com/maps/@41.533164,-88.0750639,15.5z )

3. Copy google map url (which is showing the respective feature) to an excel file. This excel contains all features id and their google map url.

I would like to automate the process. Is this possible in FME?

Or is there any way to locate automatically the features on google maps?

If you have the location already, you should be able to construct the url within fme
