google maps

[pas2gether]

Has anybody integrated googlemaps into their website. Where they show a list of points pinpointed. These points are based on postcodes.

For example I am doing a website for a estate agents. I want to be able to show the areas that their houses are avialable.

Hi I managed to implement a google map onto my site:
www.flexicon-ind-supplies.co.uk/HowToFindUs.aspx

If this is what you mean here is the javascript:

<scriptsrc="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;key=ABQIAAAApI7YGn0MV7bA ZkIUezyLkxRD6soBqGhfdhCGOR_J2wdcSrJPpRSKkQqrdS0CsP U10hIaPhvFnCvdDA"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<scripttype="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function load()
{
var point = new GLatLng(53.4227, -2.9509)

if (GBrowserIsCompatible())
{
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.setCenter(point, 12);
var marker = createMarker(point,'Flexicon Industrial Supplies');
map.addOverlay(marker);
}

function createMarker(point, html)
{
var marker = new GMarker(point);
GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function()
{
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});
return marker;
}
}
//]]>
</script>

You will need to sign up to googlemaps and get an API key for your site and find out your latitude and longitude coordinate for centering your map and the coordinates for the pointers.

That's quite cool! Glad you got it working!
