What is - and where do - I find my own GMap?

[Steen Jakobsen]

here's how

1] Goto Google Maps and set up your map.

2] Click 'Link to this page' on the top right of the map and copy the upper link to your post.

Code: Select all

http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&ll=37.097078,-8.47136&spn=0.005896,0.009656&t=h&z=17

3] note the zoom level. in this case it's 17 ( /?ie=UTF8&ll=37.097078,-8.47136&spn=0.005896,0.009656&t=h&z=17)

4] The remove everything from the link except the co-ordinates. ( /?ie=UTF8&ll=37.097078,-8.47136&spn=0.005896,0.009656&t=h&z=17)

Code: Select all

37.097078,-8.47136

5] Select co-ordinates and click gmap= BBCode button

Code: Select all

[gmap=]37.097078,-8.47136[/gmap]

6] Add zoom level

Code: Select all

[gmap=17]37.097078,-8.47136[/gmap]

6] DONE. it's actually easy once you get the hang of it!
