Your Google Map
To add a Google Map to your page, please take the following steps:
- go to Google Maps or open your copy of Google Earth
- to find your latitude and longitude, type in your capital city.
- click on "link to this page" on the far right - you will get a pastable link such as this one for Calgary, Alberta. "http://maps.google.com/maps/mm?ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=51.050000,-114.060000&spn=0.010186,0.013347&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr". The first number (51.0422) is the latitude and the second (114.060000) the longitude.
- put these numbers into the following formula. (The "lat" and "lon"numbers are for Calgary, Alberta)
<googlemap lat="51.050000" lon="-114.060000" zoom="13" controls="large" width= "580" height= "580" overview="yes" scale="yes" type="map"> 51050000, -114060000, Calgary,_Alberta </googlemap>
- paste this formula with your own numbers into your home page or a special Google Map page.
- You can also change the size of the map, for example, a small map could be "width= "425" height= "350"
Here is the map as it will appear with the above numbers:
<googlemap lat="51.050000" lon="-114.060000" zoom="13" controls="large" width= "580" height= "580" overview="yes" scale="yes" type="map"> 51050000, -114060000, Calgary,_Alberta </googlemap>
