Using google maps with my website
My aim: I wanted to add a google map to my website: mypubspace.com and for each pub in the database of my website to add a marker on the google map containing relevant information.
This was surely a toughie but I thought I'd cracked it! Below are instructions on how to do it the usual way - without API- Sign up for a free google account if you already have one then login!
- Once logged into your google account, add the Maps product
- Direct your browser to http://maps.google.co.uk (you can do this by clicking Maps
- Select the tab My Maps and then click on create new map
- You can now either create a new map manually or by inmporting a KML file, we will do it manually
- Find the location you would like to add a marker (better to search the full address)
- You will see a search marker (green arrow) in the place where you would like your marker
- Right click on this green arrow and add to map, select your map and save
I quote "I thought I'd cracked it!" but there are many different ways in which to add markers to your google maps API
Another way (and most probably the proper way) is to use the Latitude/Longitude in your database to write a query that will export all records from database and you can use as a KML file. more about this here soon
Next project: To recreate mypubspace.com (in php)
After mastering the basics of the language ASP(VBScript). I have recently been learning the language PHP. I therefore decided to progress my skills and recreate the website I originally created in ASP and rewrite it in PHP using a new design and taking information from a mySQL database.
I also had to learn how to convert existing data from an Access database into a mySQL database
