> My question is: can I let other folks embed my custom map on their own sites?
the "embed this map" feature on google maps simply creates an iframe. Here's the source I get by default: <iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com.gt/maps? hl=es&ie=UTF8&ll=15.778464,-90.224424&spn=5.294799,9.876709&t=m&z=7&output=embed"></ iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com.gt/maps? hl=es&ie=UTF8&ll=15.778464,-90.224424&spn=5.294799,9.876709&t=m&z=7&source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">Ver mapa más grande</a></small> so basically everything between the iframe tags is what you want to replicate, obviously swapping in your own url for google's. Everything after the ? in the iframe src is a query string that tells your map what to do as it gets embedded. there's plenty of stuff about query strings online. you will need to set permissions so that cross-domain requests are possible as some browsers require this before loading iframe content from a different domain. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
