Bloggers write for many different reasons: some to log their daily activities or keep in touch with friends and family; others to publicize their business, or earn an income online by providing useful and informative articles.

No matter what the genre of our subject matter, there may well be times when area maps relevant to our posts may enhance the experience for our readers. A family blogger for example could illustrate their holiday destination, while a business blog could demonstrate the location of their shops.

While Blogger's recent "Geotagging" feature proves useful to many Bloggers, there are times when nothing less than an actual map will do. And when you consider the interactivity offered by Google Maps (2d maps, sattelite views and even driving directions), the prospect of adding such a feature to our blogs becomes even more enticing!

Here, for example, is a map of Downing Street in London, England:

Using this map, you can easily switch between the 2-dimensional map, a satellite view and even the terrain of the ares. You can move the map in any direction to see the surrounding area; zoom in and out for a closer/distant view, and incredibly you can link to driving directions too!

Such interactive elements can add a huge amount of interest to your posts, and can assist reader's interaction with your site, whether this be a deeper understanding of the locations you write about, or to help potential customers find out where your business is based.

There are two main methods you could use to add customizable Google Maps to your blog posts:

• Paste code for an Iframe generated by google maps
• Using the google maps creator from kabaweb.com

Neither of these options requires you to edit your Blogger template in order to add these maps to your posts (or even your sidebar, if you prefer this location). Whats more, these can be added simply by copying and pasting a section of code to your posts.

Let's go through each of these methods in turn and explain the circumstances in which these would be most useful.


Adding an Iframe generated by Google Maps

I personally find this to be the easiest and most reliable method of adding Google Maps to Blogger posts.

To begin, simply visit the Google Maps website and type in the location you wish to display:

For example, if I wanted to display a map of The White House, I would type: "The White House, Washington DC, United States". The search results would then be displayed in a screen like this (click on the image for a larger preview):

If nescessary, we can narrow down the location by clicking one of the links on the left in order to get a more accurate map.

Once we have the map we would like to embed in our Blogger post, we need to retrieve the code required to display it.

To do this, click on the "Link"icon at the top right of the map:

In the pop-up, click "Customize and preview embedded map". This enables us to tweak the dimensions of the map to ensure it fits well within our blog post.

If you are using a default Blogger template, I would advise you to use the "Small" option which will measure 300px in width. This ensures the map will not overlap the space you have available for your blog posts which could mess up the overall layout of your blog.

In cases where you use a widened posts column, you could choose a larger map size or even specify your own dimensions. As a guide, the medium map size is 425px wide while the large embed is 640px. Your selection will automatically generate a new preview which gives a good idea of how well this will fit into your Blogger template design.

Finally, copy all of the code in the third section of this page to your clipboard. We will paste this into our Blogger post shortly.
