Following up on our Q4 WEB Spring 08 Features blog post, I’m going to talk about Q4 Web’s ability to embed Google maps into your site. Google maps are quickly becoming a standard method for displaying maps on websites.
What is Google Maps?
Google Maps is a Google service offering powerful, user-friendly mapping technology and local business information—including business locations, contact information, and driving directions. You can find out more about Google maps here
Ok, great. So what can I do with Google maps
Googles maps are quickly becoming a standard method for displaying various types of map related information on company websites. Some examples of how Google maps can be useful on your site are:
- Display a map to your corporate offices
- Show a map of your operations (see a great example on the Baffinland Iron Mines website)
In addition to the basic mapping data, administrators can also tag locations with additional information regarding the location that is tagged on the map. Website users can view satellite images of your mine areas as well as topographical images providing them more insight into your companies operations.
How can I get Google maps functionality on my site?
