I see many websites using google maps and placing there own markers in them such as if they have many stores in an area the map will show all of their stores locations and when you click on it then it shows an address. I was wondering how this is done because this would be a great marketing tool for my magazines website to show people where they can pick up our magazine.
Hi , I use a component of Joomla to do this but you need Joomla installed.. have a look at http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/index.html and http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/index.html And if your using wordpress http://avi.alkalay.net/2006/11/google-maps-plugin-for-wordpress.html Best of luck!
you get can online generators to do this for you, e.g: http://mapmaker.donkeymagic.co.uk/ http://www.mapbuilder.net/index.php (recommended) just paste the code they give you and change the url of the marker to a marker you have made yourself
