I've seen a few requests for a Google Map BB Code so here it is.
You need the co-ordinates to use it.
London for example would be: [gmap=51.502759, -0.11673, 0.714651, 2.113495][/gmap]
The original embed code for London is this:
Code:
<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=London&aq=&sll=51.502759,-0.11673&sspn=0.714651,2.113495&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Westminster,+London,+United+Kingdom&ll=51.502759,-0.11673&spn=0.714691,2.113495&t=h&z=10&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=London&aq=&sll=51.502759,-0.11673&sspn=0.714651,2.113495&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Westminster,+London,+United+Kingdom&ll=51.502759,-0.11673&spn=0.714691,2.113495&t=h&z=10" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>
So it's not exactly user friendly, but if you can pull the 4 co-ordinates from the code then it will work.
You need to use the 4 sets of data after sll= and sspn=, so in the case of the above code, they would 51.502759,-0.11673, 0.714651, 2.113495
The size is fixed at 800x600 but that can be edited, or I can turn those into variables, it will just mean entering 6 lots of values for each embed.
I've also set the embed code as the basic map, the parameters can be edited to change the map type, zoom level, etc.
If anybody wants a specific code creating, link me to the original Google Map page with the exact view you want, or paste the code here, and I should be able to get it done for you.
