title: How to open google maps using plain html
body: <p>All I want is simple yet I am unable to find a solution. Basically, I have a list of images displayed using <code>ul li</code> tag.  When the user clicks one of the items, I want the browser to open a new tab or window and pass a certain postcode to be displayed on Google Maps site. How can I achieve this. I have read about Google Map API but I think this is too much for what I want.</p>
  
  <p>here is a sample of my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;img src="image1.jpg" id="SE325JP"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;img src="image1.jpg" id="NP125JL"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  </code></pre>
