Adding a dynamic map to your website is relatively straightforward. Using the Google Maps API you can embed a map in your web pages. With further configuration you can add markers, icons, labels and even suggest directions to users. Any map embedded on your pages has the same zoom and movement functionality as at Google Maps. The first step is to sign up for a key. This is dependent on the URL of the page in which you wish to embed your map, so it is a good idea to put all map pages in the same directory to save having to get separate keys for each one. The next step is to look at the examples provided by Google. These will give you all the methods you require for using the API. If you don’t fancy getting your hands dirty with the API code but would like a map on your site why not drop us an email here at the Trilobita Partnership. We can set up a map from as little as £25.
