So far I didn't add a link because it takes up space in the tweet. But I do frequently want to look on OSM or other maps what the world looks like at one of the pictures ... :-/

PR to see what it would look like?

I could try to make a PR, but getting the signs right is so tedious.

https://www.google.com/maps/@?api=1&map_action=map&center=-46.5,-68.3&zoom=12&basemap=satellite

So if you don't mind patronizing google the URL looks like that, but it's a lot of characters for a tweet, twitter automatically uses t.co for links on its page, does the API automatically do that?
