Title: Inserting / Embebbing Google Maps?
Post by: Williamson on August 16, 2013, 07:03:40 PM: Apologies if this is a repeat.

Can we insert or embed a Google Map in a post (similar to some other forums - like http://austouring.com (http://austouring.com))?

Cheers, Michael

Post by: alans1100 on August 16, 2013, 08:17:35 PM: so far we can post the link to the map like this http://goo.gl/maps/cKyVY (http://goo.gl/maps/cKyVY)

some sites also use the .kml file as well and embed using that.
I think there's a BB code for maps to be embeded but I haven't seen that on here, yet

In the other forum you can wrap [GMAP] ..... [/GMAP] around the HTML code to embed the map into a post.

It's a useful function (IMHO), perhaps it can be added here. Sounds easy, but I've got no idea how it's done.

Post by: Marcus on August 16, 2013, 09:19:48 PM: Yeah that would a great feature to see the map in the post rather then having to click on another link.

Sure would be handy, so thought I'd just bring to the attention of the-powers-at-be. Can't be too hard (says the techno duffus).

Looks like this only works with old Google Maps - not the new one.

Thanks to all you propeller heads who helped solve this.

Cheers, Diesel
Title: Re: Inserting / Embebbing Google Maps?
Post by: Diesel on February 19, 2014, 09:48:09 AM: another test...

Well, there you go - this is from the new google maps....

1. Draw route
2. Go to little settings icon at bottom right of screen
3. click into 'share and embed map'
4. copy text
5. back to ozstoc forum, click 'insert hyperlink' button and paste - click ok
6. add [.html] to front of code and [./html] to end of code (without full stops).

should work

Yep - see my post.

Hover over your destination and a + sign opens to add another destination

Sometime last year I tried the new maps and I found I couldn't do what the old maps did so went back to the old ones.

Same... it turns out the smart people at Google fixed it. It also lets you drag you destinations to be n the order you want them...

Nope...Doesn't work
Title: Re: Inserting / Embebbing Google Maps?
Post by: Diesel on February 19, 2014, 10:25:08 AM: try editing and putting the html stuff in.

Hang on - I will....

there... looks like you can skip the "insert link" step - just paste it in your window, highlight the text, hit the 'revove formatting' icon and add the html codes to each end

Post by: Diesel on February 19, 2014, 10:30:49 AM: yep - loses the coding each time. :cuss

I also highlighted the pasted text, and hit the 'remove formatting' icon before adding adding the html into the code - worked fine - but for how long? :||||

A possible route for me from Home to Ballarat:

Thanks Marcus.

Another beer coming your way at Ballarat.

Now all you gotta do is to make wider images appear on the screen, and you earn another beer from me.

I reckon some of the other guys should be shouting as well, and show some appreciation.

Yeah you kind of can and can't... The code google gives you doesn't embed like the new google maps problem. And to be honest, I like the maps all the same size to avoid cluttering up the threads.

On the plus side if you need to see a full version, then just click on the Google logo in the bottom left corner which will open up a new tab and...Ta daaaaa

For now...yes...

It works for Diesel because he is admin/mod/god of the forum. As you said before... permissions

Yeah, pretty ugly. That's why is easier to just use the old maps and the link inside the html tags...As it seems the forum doesn't support <iframes >
Title: Re: Inserting / Embebbing Google Maps?
Post by: Pezzz on February 20, 2014, 10:58:47 AM: I got it now. Don't use the embedded map link in the old google maps as it gives you way too much info. Just use normal link and wrap in html tags removing the s from https.

Post by: Marcus on February 20, 2014, 11:07:01 AM: Hahaha. Pezzz... that was sorted pages back, I had some screen grabs showing which link to use.

The problem is trying to embed the "NEW" Google maps (you're using the "old" google maps)
Title: Re: Inserting / Embebbing Google Maps?
Post by: Diesel on February 20, 2014, 11:31:40 AM: Ok - Marcus video worked for me - so I agree - must be a permissions thing.

Can I ask you Marcus to do a video for the old style Google Maps?

Shiney came up with the great idea to post your instructions in the 'welcome to the site' area to help newbies.

The video is much better at explaining this process.

Cheers, Diesel

PS - post it here and I'll:

A) clean up this thread leaving only the successful info; and
B) copy the next instructional video to the newbies section.
