I see that you've had google maps tutorial on a website, but none of the links work, so can I get an active link to the tutorial?

tnx

Hmm,
honestly, I don't know what Listing Manager is, I was thinking about cmsBuilder.

Ah, yeah -- I think the tutorials you would have seen links for were for a previous product that's discontinued. Any CMS Builder tutorials are in these forums, so the links don't expire. As of yet, I don't beleive we have any CMS Builder google map tutorials yet.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Hi Igor,

You can use the straight embed code that Google gives you no problem -- it's generally a little easier to use this in a plain text field. If you're looking at any given Google Maps page, you'll see a link that says "Link". If you click on it, you'll be given the option to [url http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=37.0625,-95.677068&spn=49.891082,79.013672&t=h&z=4]link to it directly[/url] like this, or embed code that allows you to embed it into any HTML page. Here's an example of the code you'd get:

<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
src="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&amp;ll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;spn=49.891082,79.013672&amp;t=h&amp;z=4&amp;output=embed">
</iframe>
<br /><small>
<a href="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&amp;ll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;spn=49.891082,79.013672&amp;t=h&amp;z=4&amp;source=embed"
style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>


Nothing special in CMS Builder is required for this, it's just straight HTML. :)
