adding a google map to home page?

Post by coachmark » Tue Apr 27, 2010 8:23 am

Any easy way to add a google map (on google maps they give you the html code to embed a map on a web page) to home page. I like to put a map on home page to show parents where we are playing are next game.

yes you can insert the HTML code from Google Maps into your home page...

switch the home page editor to HTML (upper left of tool bar) and
then Cut and past the HTML code from google Link into the home page
(i.e., <iframe> ........ . </iframe>)

Thanks, worked great but anyway to put the map in a frame that I can move around.
I copied html from both google map and accuweather, and pasted both into html editor as you described. Worked great, but can not move them around on screen to format page in a more readable way and avoid scroll bar.
Thanks again for your help with this

You can position <iframe> tags just like other code in HTML with line breaks, left and center align tags etc. . you can also use layers (bottom left icon on editor toolbar) to create placement areas to insert maps/text etc.. You most likely need to manipulate things in HTML code view. If you are not familiar th HTML code, you may have a learning curve.

also on google map, you can click the customize link there to re size the iframe and create new HTML code to cut and paste.

Awesome, created a new layer, then went into html editor and cut and pasted html code into correct spot in new layer. Now able to reposition the new layer.
Thanks
