Before you go through all the complexities of this tutorial, I recommend that you check out a recent Google Maps development I’ve posted about. I think you’ll find it quite helpful!
In response to a post on the Godbit forum, I created this brief Google Maps API tutorial. I believe every Church website, and every business for that matter, should provide a map and directions. The Google API lets us take that concept to a new level.
After completion of this tutorial you should be able to:
- Have your own interactive map (I guess that’s a given since that is what this tutorial is about)
- Locate your geo coordinates
- Center your map on those coordinates
- Place a marker on those coordinates
- Have a custom pop-up with a form to get To Here and From Here Directions
- Know where to go to learn more
