We are happy to announce that you can now deploy a Google Map of your locations. This code is now available in the Code Generator as a Hyperlink or a Javascript Widget. Using either deployment method, you can modify the map center coordinates and the zoom level to customize your location map to best suit your needs. How it Works: First, find the center of the region you want to display by finding a city on the map and then determining the latitude and longitude of that location. A good resource for this can be found at http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocode where you can simply enter a location and retrieve the coordinates. Once you have the coordinates, modify the URL or Widget Code with the latitude and longitude result. In the URL deployment, modify this part of the URL: center=37.780084,-122.394242 In the Widget Code, modify this parameter: xCfg.center = '37.780084,-122.394242'; Then, you will want to modify the zoom level as required to show the extent of the region. In the URL deployment, modify this part of the URL: zoom=7 In the Widget Code, modify this parameter: xCfg.zoom = '7'; |
