I thought it would be good feature when trying to give directions to someone . Say to a creek or put-in.
So all you have to do is click on the google maps button in your post you want to make
- Code: Select all
[googlemaps][/googlemaps]
then copy and paste the map URL Web address from Google Maps using the" Paste link button"
- Code: Select all
Paste link in email or IM
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=35.245952,-85.202472&spn=0.011548,0.022724&z=16
There is a trick you CAN'T have a gap or space between the Google address and the Google tags [googlemaps]no gaps here[/googlemaps]
If you have a space then all you get is a hyperlink...and then you aren't the cool guy that can post Google Maps in his posts.
The coding to make this work took a little time to write, due to keeping in safe so someone wouldn't make a malware post.
I hope you enjoy this feature!
Notice how the map moves around too...pretty cool
The map is is the Piney Shuttle on Waldens Ridge
- Code: Select all
[googlemaps]http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Pine+Creek+Rd&daddr=Shut+in+Gap+Rd&hl=en&geocode=FXg4IAIdcYLv-g;Fa_7IAIdiNXw-g&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=13&sll=35.693971,-84.931355&sspn=0.091874,0.181789&ie=UTF8&z=13&dirflg=d [/googlemaps]
and you should see your map in the preview window
To post a Google Map: Just cut and paste the Google Map "LINK" and place it between [googlemaps]"LINK"[/googlemaps] tags
