I see the problem. I didn't realize those links used ampersands and other characters that don't format well.
Here's a solution:
take your link (for instance
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...,1.186523&z=10 ) and go to
http://www.tinyurl.com.
Now, you can create a smaller more browser friendly link such as:
