Google Map for my website HELP

[Genesites]

I've been reading and reading and I still cannot find EXACTLY How to
post or embed a GOOGLE MAP on my website. I thought all I had to do
was Copy/Paste the html code into my website but all I see is the text/
link on my website: ''VIEW LARGER MAP". I do not see the Actual map on
my website. I wanted the Map to go on the 'SERVICES' page of my
website.
I also tried viewing my website in Firefox to see if maybe my IE
webbrowser wasn't allowing me to see the Map. In Firefox, I still
don't see the Map. :-(

My website is: WWW.GASLOGEXPRESS.COM.

Please Help. What am I doing wrong?? Any help is very much
appreciated. Thank You!!

Gee.

Hi
Follow the tutorial http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial.html
Set sensor=true
ie src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true">
Change the coordinates to suit in
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
play about with div position and width and height until you are
happy.
Once you get the hang of this you can embed the map into your site.
Regards Davie

I think what you are trying to do is embed a maps.google.com map. This
has nothing to do with the API, the subject of this group.

Can't see where you've gone wrong because I can't find "View Larger
Map" in your website.

Yes, I was simply trying to embed a maps.google.com into my site but all I see is the "VIEW LARGER MAP" (link) on there. (under my "SERVICES" pg). www.gaslogexpress.com  I thought there was supposed to be a small picture displayed along with the link. This is what Im not understanding. If using Google API is much better than I will gladly use that instead.

I think the problem is whatever CMS you're using -- it looks vaguely
like a Wordpress template, but I can't tell. Perhaps you could
investigate a plug-in or something which does the job.

Adding an API map to a blog or CMS has some pitfalls and is not really
for the inexperienced.

When you click on the 'Link' icon at the top of the maps page and then click on 'Customize and preview embedded map'
it generates a whole long <iframe> tag which you need to copy and paste into your web page source in its entirety.
You have merely coded a simple <a href=...> link which will provide a link but not embed the map onto your web page.

Before embedding the map you may also wish to create a marker for your business and save it My Maps so viewers see your business rather than a driving range when they view the map.

I should have said claim your business and update the details in Google Places (http://www.google.com/local/add/details?storeid=624646827691260866&mode=existing&flowtype=os&hl=en-US&gl=US&lookup=CLAIM) rather than just saving a marker to My Maps

All is good now. THANK U EVERYONE for responding and trying to help me! Ur AWESOME!!

The problem was I had to "insert" the Html code as opposed to copy/paste it. Im using Just Host (site builder,control panel) to build the website. It uses Rich Text. Learn something new everyday! LOL.

Thanks again!

Gina.
