Just what was needed! This type of walkthrough is exactly what the web is all about – good clean code offered in readable English (see Celshaders comments).

Well done!

So good to see a nice simple easy to follow example of a very common google map usage.
All the demo's on the google site seem to be written with more advanced users in mind.

I love you scriptygoddess! This was exactly what I needed to build a map quickly w/o wading through tons of not very good documentation. I can't tell you how helpful this is, I think google should hire you to write their documentation, cause they need some help! You rock.
Thanks so much,
Wendy

Wayhay! Thanks! I am a complete code novice and have spent all evening wading my way through the google help files getting more and more lost and then your page turned up and now my page works!

People like you make the web special!

Thanks!

Is it possible to use the API with addresses rather than lat/long keys? I've been thinking about putting together a map interface for my company that allows people to put a few addresses on a map and see how it plots out.

The way I understand it is that it is valid for a URL/(directory). A subdomain would be considered another URL. However, subdirectories in the same domain/direcotry are valid. So (again, this is my understanding, I could be wrong) this is all valid:
if you registered the key for http://www.mysite.com
this is also valid:
http://www.mysite.com/mymaps/

This would need a new key:
http://mymaps.mysite.com/

is the Google API key valid on a directory level or domain/subdomain level ?

I wouldn't put my hand on a flame on this, but I think that the Google Maps API key is tied with the url you gave in the form. So, if you ask for the API key again with the same uri, you should get the same key.

Same as Darrel says.

I was using yourgmaps because of how the other examples wouldn't work for me.

This one explains it great.

Thanks
