Google search map tutorial
Posted by Hoss Sarbaz on February 19, 2009 at 4:20 pmI need to create a google search map like the one they have on the SERVICES link here on creative cow.
Can anyone please give me a quick tutorial!
I know html, css php and mysql intermediate level. I get stumped on the javascript.
Thanks!

February 19, 2009 at 4:32 pmExcellent resources and material on the Google Map API can be found here:
https://www.google.com/search?q=google+map+apiA hello world tutorial for the API can be seen here:
https://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/introduction.html
Google does a great job documenting this API.

February 19, 2009 at 5:05 pmThanks, but I already went through the site but didn’t find anything that helped me put together the features I need.
I just need someone to say do this and this and this ….
thanks anyways!
Anyone else that can help that would be great!

Go to google maps (https://maps.google.com/) and find the location you want to put in your site, then in the upper right corner of the map there is a “Link” button. Click on it and it will display two options of code. One is a direct link, the other is an HTML code you can copy/paste to your site to display the actual map.
