Default Google Map with Multiple Markers

Hi,

Have been trying to find out how to create a googlemap with multiple markers to embed on a website.

Now - My Maps seems to have most of the functions - when I embed the map:

1) are people still able to make comments? (dicey on a company website)
2) can I add more information when one clicks a marker - eg prices, dates etc
3) can I customise the markers?

There were a couple of sites offering software to download but when I checked on their example sites they did look a bit ropey.

I wouldn't mind paying if there was decent software out there; I don't think I am at the level of the google enterprise prices.....

Many thanks,
tameSaffy

You can code your own maps to show unique markers, you can also add your own text to the pop ups. Take a look at the introduction guide and see if its something you can work with.

If coding isn't for you then there is probably software that can make it easier. I wouldn't know off hand what would be the best software to buy though.

I use this mapmaker if I need to embed a map on a site, you can add as many markers as you want with a pop up when someone clicks. Not too sure if its advanced enough for you

Thanks Gavin, thanks Lottoplus - am going to try both!!!

I really feel I am being steered down the road of learning Javascript / PHP properly though Lord knows when I will get the time ...

The Map Maker looks a real handy piece of software.

There goes my Saturday
