          @n_aditya: what you have done is put a link with a picture. embedding is something else.

          embedding means you can see the map here in the post and and can zoom in and zoom out, etc etc....just like gmap.

            I give up.. the HTML code has to be put in the page source code.. then only it will work...

                @Princess - please see the screenshot in my post. There is a "Paste HTML to embed in website" option.

                But i guess you are asking for something else. Like viewing a map inside a post with navigation. That may not be possible.

                  This forum was based on vbulletin. there is an pugin which enables users to post gmaps under BBcode [GMAP][/GMAP]. The mods/ person who takes care of this forum's technical part needs to install this plugin.

                    Absolutely technically correct answer ... now lets ask Sunny's team to install the plugin and lock this thread to avoid more experimentation !

                      In the meantime, one can use static maps of any area using IMG codes, as shown below:

                      Google Static Maps API - Google Code

                      You can choose which area to display, how to display, and the zoom level, etc. So, its good enough for now, ain't it?
                      You just need to enter the GPS addresses, and some other detail into the URL itself, and surround it with IMG tags, like shown below:

                      Code:
                      http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=XX.XXXXXX,-YY.YYYYYY&zoom=ZZ&size=AAAxAAA&sensor=false
                      X and Y= Latitude and longitudes.

                      AAA and AAA= Pixel dimensions of the image required. can't be more than 640x640.

                      ZZ= zoom level

                      So, this code:
                      Code:
                      http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=26.014728,74.228672&zoom=6&size=400x400&sensor=false
                      displays:

                        Karthik has said the correct technical solution.. the plugin for vbulletin needs to be installed.
                        Until then, we can use static maps..

                          @lijok: even i tried all this yaar, thats why started a thread.

                          @karthiktup: ya, i know there is a BBcode for this [GMap] [/GMap], but it was not working here. thats why. may be you are correct, we need some pluggin called vbulletin. MODS PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS.

                          @Rony: Please don't lock it man........there is no harm in experimentation. let us try some tricks.

                          @Samarth_619: ya static maps is all we can use now.

                          @Mods ..........do something.
