Adding a Google map

You can add an interactive Google map showing a specific address to any webpage.

To add a map:

  1. Connect to the Internet.

    This allows you, while working in iWeb, to interact with the map that will appear on your published website.

  2. Select the page you want to add the map to by clicking it in the sidebar on the left of the iWeb window.

  3. If the Media Browser isn’t open, click the Show Media button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window, and then click the Widgets button.

  4. Image of Show Media button.
  5. Drag the Google Maps widget to the page.

    You can drag the widget almost anywhere on the page, including to a media placeholder.

  7. In the Google Maps window that appears, type the address, and then click Apply.

  8. In the Google Maps window, select the checkboxes to set whether visitors to your website see the zoom controls, the address bubble, or a Google search bar in the map window.

  9. Select the map and drag it where you want it on the page; drag the handles to resize the map.

  10. Double-click the map and use the zoom controls on the map to refine the amount of detail it shows.

    You can also drag the map inside its window to show more precisely the area you want.

To modify a map, select it and make your changes in the Google Maps window. To delete a map, select it and press the Delete key.
