Google Map

VictorMoses · October 2008

Does anyone know how to make a Google Map? Basically, I want a map of England with various locations marked on it and links to these locations' websites. I thought it might be possible to enter a load of postcodes and then they'd all pop up on the map and I'd be able to label them (and link to their website). But I can't seem to do it and I didn't find the user guide very helpful... If anyone could give me some advice I would be most grateful.

You'll need a google account Go to maps.google.co.uk Click on "My Maps" in the top left of the page. Then "create new map" Then give it a name and a description. You'll then see a hand, a line and a box appear in the map window (top left) Use the map search tool like normal to find your locations, then use the pin tool (like an upside down teardrop) to mark the spot. Lather, rinse, repeat

I believe there is a Google Map in the Directory... It looks fantastic and just like what I need!

Thanks Andy, I will try it now.

The Google Directory on this site is special piece of wizardry, rather than the standard google mymaps. Techie types only can download the code here: <http://lussumo.com/addons/?PostBackAction=AddOn&Success=1&AddOnID=278>;
