Why not just do it with Javascript ? If you have a webserver, you can just code it in Javascript (that's all HTML::GoogleMaps does is change your code to Javascript). Here's a page that will start you off near my house (I shifted it off a bit) and let you move wherever you want : <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <HTML xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"> <HEAD> <script src=http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1&key=<KEY-GOES-HERE> type=text/javascript></script> </HEAD> <BODY> <div id=map style="width: 900px; height: 600px"></div> <script type=text/javascript> //<![CDATA[ //if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { var map = new GMap(document.getElementById("map")); map.centerAndZoom(new GPoint(-118.709012, 34.282444), 0); map.setMapType(G_HYBRID_TYPE); map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl()); map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl()); var marker_1 = new GMarker(new GPoint(-118.709812, 34.284244)); map.addOverlay(marker_1); var point = new GPoint (-118.709812, 34.284244); var marker1 = new GMarker (point); // Show this marker's index in the info window when it is clicked //var html = "My House - "; //GEvent.addListener (marker1, "click", function (overlay, pos) { // marker1.openInfoWindowHtml(html + pos.x + ", " + pos.y); //}); map.addOverlay (marker1); //} //]]> </script> </BODY> </HTML> You have to get a key from Google http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html I just used 127.0.0.1 for my IP address.
