I use such a thing on my house sales site. If you look at this page:

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://sellyourhouseforfree.com/listing.php?id=1956" target="_blank">http://sellyourhouseforfree.com/listing.php?id=1956</a>

You will see a link to a map.

This is generated automatically when the user enters their postal code. If
you look at the link, you will see the postal code, if you change the code
in the link, the map changes.

The example I have given is for mapquest.com which I use for US maps. For
UK maps I use multimap.com

Both of these (excellent) services allow you to link to their maps in the
manner that I have done. Check out their respective sites for more details.

The image was way too dark, so I lightened it up for you.

Thank you very much kind Sir! Are you sure it's not your monitor!?

I sometimes do that (and other adjustments, cropping is common) if the
original is a bad picture.

You're welcome. No way it's my monitor. The pic was too dark--and I was
bored.
