Calling Google Maps as Link in Standard Account Detail Page !!!

I have added Google maps via Visual Force page in Account Page Layout to display location of account on map and it is working absolutely fine. I want to add same Visual Force page as link on account page layout. For this, I have created a new formula field and used HYPERLINK funtion as:

HYPERLINK("https://c.na24.visual.force.com/apex/LocateAccount?id={!Account.ID}", "map")

but this link is not working and throwing error message : Id value is not valid for the Account standard controller

when I manually add ID value to URL, then it displays location correctly like :

HYPERLINK("https://c.na24.visual.force.com/apex/LocateAccount?id=0011a00000Bw8o5", "map")

Is there anyway to make it dynamic so that it picks the ID for current account.
