Adding Google Maps to EZ Pages

Hi All - Happy New Year!

Anybody have any advice/ideas for adding Google maps to an EZ Page?

I've tried simply pasting the Google code into the EZ Page Content area from Admin however it doesn't work. I'm guessing it's something to do with Javascript? Where the map should be is just a blank area.

I have the "About Us" mod installed if that matters.

Direct link to EZ Page - http://www.upvc4u.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=18

BTW Site is down for maintenance except my ip - Not sure if this matters for the above link? If it does let me know and I'll open the shop up.

Cheers! PW

BTW any critique on layout would be a bonus!

Re: Adding Google Maps to EZ Pages

I've had no problem adding Google Maps and Calendars to EZ pages. See here: http: //www.stevesh.org/demo and click Test in the Important Links sidebox.

Did you save the map and select the HTML link that is inside an iframe at Google ?

Re: Adding Google Maps to EZ Pages

Hi and thanks for the reply.

No I didn't use the iframe option, I'm looking into it now - Thanks for the advice.

I used the Google api code and simply lifted the code from one of my existing (non zen) sites and pasted the code into the EZ page editor (I did get a new api key first and changed that).

I don't know any Pro's and Cons of the API code versus iFrame but if the iFrame at least works it's a no brainer for me!
