block type
The location block.
Where you are, on a map, with one tap to directions in whatever app the phone already has.
An address typed into a bio is an address somebody has to copy, paste, and hope they got right. The location block puts it on a map instead, and puts a Directions button under it that opens Apple Maps on an iPhone or a Mac and Google Maps everywhere else. No copying, no app switching, no guessing which side of the street.
Type the address and urls.bio finds it when you leave the field, then pins the map to the exact spot. If the lookup comes up empty the block still works: the address shows as you wrote it, and Directions searches for it rather than failing. You can turn the map off and keep the address and the buttons.
A phone number adds a Call button that dials straight from a phone, and a booking link adds a Book button next to it. The map is drawn by OpenStreetMap, so there is no map account to open, no key to rotate, and no billing meter running behind your page.
