I Googled “embed map with directions” and found this how-to. Thank you so much for posting this. I knew this could be done but did not know how to do it without spending hours trying to figure it out. Thanks again!

I went a different route with our website. Rather than provide a map right off the bat we have the user type in their address and when google maps opens it already has the driving directions from their address to our church listed.

Here is our page:

http://www.biblebaptisttemple.org/directions-to-bible-baptist-temple/

And a snippet of the FORMs code I used:
Enter your address here:

Notice our area is also part of the google transit. Similar code used there as well for our bus stop finder.

I noticed that on your example page, using IE6, that click the link to HYCW inside the map opens the HYCW web page inside the map box. It doesn’t do that on the actual Google maps page (accessed by clicking ‘make this map larger’).

Is that the way it’s suppsoed to work?

Thanks the for the info. useful stuff.

You can also add a listing for your church in the Google Maps Local Business Center. That lets you add all sorts of info to the listing that’ll come up on searches, including hours, url, & much more – even some photos.

To see ours go to google maps and search for:
central presbyterian church, baltimore, md

Click the map pin for details and see the ‘more info’ for even more. neat stuff.

(sorry if this is a duplicate post. lost the first try — I think)
