How Can We Help?
- First of all we can only use a static map, since Google Maps uses Javascript to zoom etc and most phones on the market do not support Javascript, so the only solution is to use static maps.
- Before we can use the Google Maps API we need to apply for an Application Key by visiting this URL http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html
- Now use the following code within an HTML img tag
<img src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=ADDRESS&zoom=14&size=150x150&sensor=false&markers=color:blue|ADDRESS&maptype=roadmap&mobile=true&key=APPLICATION_KEY" alt="Google Map" />
Replace ADDRESS with you address
Replace APPLICATION_KEY with your application key, obtained from http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.htmlRemember to URL encode the address entered
