gmap4 embeds

[fishmonger]

so I tried everything to emebd a GMAP link with the buttons on the menu. All I got was the code in the message body.

Was that because I didn't do it first time, but after a message edit?

let's try again - I have a longitude/lattiude and a full URL to the map:

http://www.mappingsupport.com/p/gmap4.p ... &z=15&t=t2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

do I embed that with the full tag? let's try that first (Gmap4 button)
http://www.mappingsupport.com/p/gmap4.p ... &z=15&t=t2

and maybe with the gmap4LL button?

[Gmap4LL]http://www.mappingsupport.com/p/gmap4.p ... &z=15&t=t2[/Gmap4LL]

or is this thing smart and only wants the LL from me, maybe with zoom level and map type?

[Gmap4LL]36.787471,-118.376801&z=15&t=t2[/Gmap4LL]

or just the two LL values?

36.787471,-118.376801

well, in preview, I see only the last one working. I suppose that's good enough for most, as it chose the map type and zoom level I would have picked. So what's the syntax for the regular gmap4 button? it appears to prepend the URL up to the q= part - is that where I throw in a gpx file URL?

Hi Fish,

Thanks for using Gmap4. Let me see if I can shed light.
Eric has programmed 2 Gmap4 buttons. All together now - Thanks Eric!

#1. Gmap4 button
If you (1) have a GPX, KML, KMZ, TPO file and (2) you have put that file online,
then paste the URL to your file between the Gmap4 tags and hit "Preview'.
You should see your post with a map displaying your file.

#2. Gmap4LL button
Yes, I think your post is correct.
If you post a lat,lng between these tags, then you will get a map centered on that spot
