I could really use some probably simple help on posting a Google Map
link to Twitter, which comes from an app of mine through the API.
Basically I'd want to post the entire link like this to twitter from
my app:

Here is the data I send twitter in the API:

"is sharing the location for NAME.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q?q=100.00000,50.00000%20%28SPOT%20NAME%29";

and twitter only posts:

MYACCOUNT is sharing the location for SPOT NAME. http://maps.google.com/maps...

"http://maps.google.com/maps..."; shows as a hyperlink, but the rest is
truncated/missing.  And the link takes you to "http://maps.google.com/
maps?f=q" and then stops.

Are there more characters I should replace in the data before I send
it to Twitter?  To replace the ?  or the in what I sent twitter and
forward?  I tried %25 instead of a ?, etc.

Please help.  Still picking up these HTML tricks!
