It is fairly easy to export the data from myMaps. Click on the "RSS" button. Save the resulting file to a webserver: http://www.geocodezip.com/Sibshops.xml (icons definitions seem to be lost, but that may just be me not investigating) It can then be loaded onto google maps (or into an API page using one of the ?GeoXml parsers): http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=http:%2F%2Fwww.geocodezip.com%2FSibshops.xml If you use one of the ?GeoXml parsers (EGeoXml, or GeoXml) you have some control over how things are rendered in the infoWindow. -- Larry > > > > > > On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 7:57 PM, MOMofPSCA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > So sorry, as I said I was new and thought I had put a lot of > > information. > > The link to the map is: > >http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=1171828011515... > > I hope someone can help after seeing the map. > > Thanks, > > MOM > > > On Sep 26, 4:38 am, "Barry Hunter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > >> In answer to your questions: Maybe, possibly, probably. > > >> I think that is possibly about as specific answer as you can get > >> without more information. the posting guidelines ask (even if they > >> dont insist) on a link to the map, for the simple reason its the most > >> consise way of providing the most information possible about the > >> situation. > > >> At the moment we dont know how or where you have the data stored, > >> javascript, html, kml etc, are you hardcoding the map generation or is > >> it fed dynamically etc, etc, etc, etc. And answering a generic > >> question, mainly as we are likly to be barking up the wrong tree is > >> kinda pointless. > > >> (sorry if this sounds like getting at you personally, this just > >> happens to be yet another message without much information) > > >> On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 8:04 AM, MOMofPSCA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> > Hi, > >> > I'm new to mapping, and have put 160+ addresses on my map.
