Google Maps

upandcumming

Hi folks,

I've started doing some web design, and I getting to really like it. I'm very new to it all and I'd like some help with incorporating Google Maps into my site. I'd like to have something like this. I like the way the directions are on the left and the map nice and big on the right. How is this done?

Hey there,

Nice functionality to have on a site and should not be that hard to do.. try the following site.

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/index.html

Should be some demos here of how to set one up

I used something similar in college for a project and it worked a treat.

I really like the way its done on the link above, but I'm struggling to get it like that, and the Directions API is a bit daunting!
Any help?

amen

right click on their page and select view source.

you will see the client side (including the css include) used to render the page.

you could have a look and see how it works.

then make changes for your own style

It all depends on what you want from the page. In order to get what you want there are some samples on the page.

Hope this helps
