verry usefull just like @sibghatullahshah requested I will be gratefull to see how that can be done also thanks
Thank you, works fine !
Can we do this with multiple points? Do you have a script like this?
Thank you!!
Hi Levymetal, With the API now requiring a key how would I modify the code to include that? I dig the username BTW.
I am not much of a programmer but would like to include this functionality in my website.
@GavinWatts you should be able to do something like this with the script tag:
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&key=YOUR_API_KEY"></script>
Give that a try and let me know how you go!
Thank you, sir !!
