Viewing Widget - Google map

Widget - Google map



User: Lars Kruse J. 10 years ago
hi there.

Great working with the app - its really easy. Thanks.

I have however one little guesting or bump that I can't figure out.

When I insert google maps, type in my address. The widget zoom in to a total closeup.

I need it to be zoomed out…. can I do that? Other wise I can't use the map…

I want my customers to be able too see aproxemately we are located and not just my street …. that's not much use. ;-)

Looking forward to hearing from you and getting my site published. ;-)

The zoom level is set in Google Maps - not in EverWeb.

You need to go back to Google Maps and zoom out.

Hi Roddy,

Then I'll have to use the HTML snippet instead of the Google Maps Widget…. is that what you are saying. ? ;-)

No, enter the address in Google maps, set the zoom and copy the URL.

Sometimes you have to mess with it a little to get the code to reset.

I usually paste the code into a snippet because it gives me a lot more control over the finished map with respect to size, zoom level, precise location etc.

Also, Google gives the code for two sizes of maps which I never need.

Thank Roddy. That did it. After fiddling a bit with the map it worked.

I added a page to the EverWeb Codebox website that explains how to style maps, change the zoom and precisely locate the marker.
