GOOGLE MAPS - code to add an image

< carrot img src="http://thelocationofyourimagehere.jpg/" width="200" carrot/>

Adding imaged to google maps:
  • Add the code above to the "edit html" tab of the google maps dialogue box.
  • Navigate in another tab to your online photo that you want to show
  • CONTROL click on the image and click on "Save Image Location"
  • Go back to the google map and paste that location between the quotation marks of the code.
  • In the code-- remove the word "carrot" from the beginning and the end
  • click ok
  • The code is a particular language. The accidental removal of punctuation will make it fail. Be careful when cutting and pasting.
  • MAKE SURE YOU ARE WORKING IN FIREFOX - not safari!
