Embedding Google Maps

I had some trouble using the Google Maps module so decided to just use the embed code supplied by Google.
I tried to submit but got....
"Google
Error
Forbidden
Your client does not have permission to get URL /maps?etcetc...
Any ideas what that measn and how I may go about fixing it?
FYI: When I tried the Google Maps module I did the Location search thing, it spat out a default longitude and latitude. When I pasted that I was pointing at Mexico... it was suppoed to point to Australia.
Thanks
Herb.

I have been able to embed the Google map. Grabbed the 'long' and the 'Lat'using this method:
http://lifehacker.com/software/google-m ... 267361.php
Pretty cool!
But I also have a couple of URLS a client has supplied for a couple of 'My Maps' he created. Should I be able to treat these the same? Or do I enter those as a 'New Marker'? If so where do I enter the URL? And what is the 'Address Lookup' all about?
When I tried to embed without using the module I got the error mentioned previously.
I used the same embed code in a normal html page in the same folder with no problem so I'm reasonably sure its cms ms thats the problem and not the server etc.
Any help really appreciated.

Sorry, I doesn't know something about googlemaps module cause it's not work for me.
I'm using direct embeding in template.
I meant the grabbing of long and lat - doesn't know it before

OK but does nayone have an answer??
The module admits to 'icons not working yet' but if I try addingthe embed code using the html editor of course, straight into the page I get an error.
- Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server. -
I'd like to embed the page, icons and all.

Do you mean something like this?
http://test.cmsmadesimple.de/index.php?page=googlemaps
I've done it with Googles API help at
http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documen ... index.html

Yes that's exactly what I mean. I'll give it a go tomorrow. Thanks. I'm sure I've visited that page but perhaps I missed something.

Can you copy and paste the code you entered to make it work as at the test site above?
That'd be great!
Thanks,

1. Create a special template for google maps view
2. Add this in head area
Code: Select all
{literal}
<__script__ src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=ABQIAAAA5B13I_eLkg8RuuLqqqXMFBR1buWbQ6wM6JwAKEukqPCmDhr4WxTPBb02wp0bfIQeixTLg2XdW7EkSQ"
type="text/javascript"></__script>
<__script__ type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function load() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
var center = new GLatLng(50.958210469307666, 13.842086791992188);
map.setCenter(center, 13);
var marker = new GMarker(center, {draggable: true});
GEvent.addListener(marker, "dragstart", function() {
map.closeInfoWindow();
});
GEvent.addListener(marker, "dragend", function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml("Just bouncing along...");
});
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
}
//]]>
</__script>
{/literal}
3. Change values of "key" and "new GLatLng"
4. Modify body tag like
Code: Select all
</__body onload="load()" onunload="GUnload()">
5. Add this to content
Code: Select all
<div style="width: 500px; height: 300px" id="map"> </div>
