Ted,
I have used that exact URL construct for a couple of years (the
https://maps.google.com/maps?q= part), and about a year ago it started
throwing errors when launched from an embedded IE object on a Foxpro
form. Something about script errors...and then the url is changed,
drastically, to something much more complex, but the map is still shown
(although you can't zoom, pan, or anything else.) It used to work great,
and still does in Firefox or Chrome, but IE is the only browser that can
be embedded in a Foxpro form in a Foxpro app.
Really worked great, when it worked. You could even have it chart a
route for two or more addresses just by building a string of addresses
and attaching it on the end of the URL.

Check to see if there's an example in the Solutions App, in your FoxPro
directory, to embed an instance of IE on a Fox form.
Then, you could call the IE, pass it an address like:
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Ted+Roche+Associates+LLC
and the map should appear.
Follow the links for Google's Map project to determine how you can use the
API.

I just got a request to show a google map on a form, when an address is
given. IOW, the user opens a customer screen and it would contain, among
other things, the full address.
The user clicks on a button and a google map appears, pointing to that
address. Then he can use the map just like when one uses a google map, even
getting directions on how to get there, etc.
I am thinking of one way to do this with VFP and that is, call the browser
and go directly to the google map with the address built in.
I do not know how to do this, though.
Is there a better way?
Please give me some pointers, code samples, whatever.
It would be greatly appreciated
