Lets say you are submitting a post/thread that you want to include a link to a Google map, we now have the abilitiy to embed these maps directly into your post. This FAQ explains how to do this.

To embed a Google Map follow these steps:

Go to Google Maps and find the location or route you want to show. Click the "link" hyperlink at the top right:

Then click the "customize and preview embedded map" link:

Change the map to Large at the top, then zoom in/out and scroll until you're happy with how the map appears:

When you're done, select all and copy all of the text that appears in the "Paste HTML to embed in website" section.

Now go back to your post here and just hit this icon --> gmap.gif and it will automatically type the gmap bbcode in your post, just like the link tool or the image tool.

PHP Code:


			
[gmap]the text you copied from Google Maps[gmap]

Paste in the text you copied from google maps, and submit your post.

All this gives you this:
