"The fastest, easiest way to add Google Maps to any website"
[excerpt from site]

What Is It?


MapMyPage is a javascript program that can identify street, city and country (mailing) addresses on your web page(s).

You can read more about the included features below. Or, you can see it in action. To open the map, click the globe icon on resulting page.

What Does It Do?


Almost immediately after installing a little, globe icon link is placed next to the address contained within your web page automatically. When clicked, a Google Maps box/window (centered on the referenced location) appears within the page itself.

Check out the screenshots below to see a few of the map views and features that become available to your website visitors.

Once an informational balloon is closed, you can drag and zoom the map.



mapmypage-satelliteview


You can zoom from 'Satellite' view to 'Street View' by using the menu buttons at the top of the map window.



mapmypage-search


Entering a search term or locale in the search box will produce matches directly on the map.



mapmypage-photos


You can even view user submitted, on location photos by checking 'Photos' under the 'More' button.




How Do I Install It?



  1. Visit the project page.

  2. Copy and paste the script (code) between the <head> and </head> tags of the web pages you want map links (little globe icons) to appear.

  3. Use the <div class="maps_off"> tag to disable automatic mapping on any portion of a web page.
