Hi i have seen this great map system that i have seen on many sites which i think makes a site look great but i have tried looking for the past few weeks but cannot find where i can get one from.

does anyone know how these sites do it and where you can get the product from. I use joomla for all my sites

Any help would be great

This is likely a map created with the Google maps API: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/index.html

Hi Diane,

As Dunamis suggested, this is a Google Maps implementation.

In this case, the webmaster has built a separate page with the search options (hometown, postcode etc) and the embedded map, then pulled it into the page using an iframe.

It is quite easy to see exactly how they have done this if you look at the code:

View source and search the source code for iframe. When you find that line of code, you will see a link to the page in the iframe. Click the link and you will see the source code for the external page, which shows you how it works and where the map is coming from - the Google Maps api.

Hope that helps,

Sha
