You can now easily add google maps to posts.

You can use either of

    [*:3r03m316]gmap: A full width google map set so show satellite image by default, or[*:3r03m316]minigmap: A 300px x 300px map, showing a streetmap by default, aligned to the right of your post

To do this:

    [*:3r03m316]go to maps.google.com and enter the location. Once found, click 'link' on the right and copy the link[*:3r03m316]in the forum, create your new post and click either 'gmap' or 'minigmap' above the post.[*:3r03m316]paste the link from googlemaps between the tags

I've had a request for info about creating your own Google Maps.

First you need a Google Account. Open http://www.google.co.uk
Top right hand corner of window - Sign In - click on it

"Sign in on the right or create one for free using just an email address and password you choose"

Click on "create one for free" - follow the instructions.

Once you have a Google account. Open "Maps"

Left hand column - click on "My Maps"
Click on "Create new map"
Title Bar - enter a name for your map
Description - whatever.........

Privacy & sharing settings - Public - for everyone to see or Unlisted - limited to who you choose.

If you want people to have the ability to edit your map - click on "Collaborate"

Remember to click "Save" when you make changes.
Remember to click "Done" at the end of your session.

----------------------------------
If you want to save/edit the map http://tiny.cc/Greenholme_Mills - click on this link, Google Maps opens, click Sign In - enter your email address & password (if your not already signed in) - then click on Save to My Maps. Once its in your Google account you can edit it at your leisure. Remember to click "Save" when you make changes to it.
