Hi I'm setting up a simple website for a charity ride later in year. I want to put a google map with the route on it which then overlays our position in real time.
I'm a complete numpty at this, so I have the route in google maps. and I am going to use google latitude for positioning. How do i embed it in my website.
Apologies if this is a dumb question but i am not versed in the ways of website making.....
IIRC, don't you need to sign up for a google API key to be able to do it?
I looked at something similar a year or so back, there was a fair bit of coding involved. You might want to enlist some help if you're 'not well versed' as you say.
I'll bow to current knowledge though, it's been a while.
cheers. there's me thinking using googles sites, google maps and google latitude it would be easy!
I'd wait for a second opinion though, if I were you. (-:
I second that you need googles API, its been a long time since I did any web stuff, buyt there will definitely be a multitude of good tutorials out there
don't you need to sign up for a google API key to be able to do it
I can confirm that you do. It's only a short piece of code that you need to place in the page that the map will appear on.
Cheers Phil W. I have teh API and key code. How do I get that on teh embedded map i have on my page with the route on it?

Someone must be able to explain that in plain english? Please?!
Bump for the board at work IT chaps.... 🙂
