Details
The MAP variable displays a google map of the given location. Each of the arguments is optional - if a particular argument is left as blank, the default value is used. The default argument values and their allowed values are as follows.
| Argument | Default | Values |
| location | Australia | any address as a string, or a latitude/longitude |
| zoom | 10 | 0 (earth view) to 21+ (individual buildings) |
| maptype | hybrid | roadmap, satellite, terrain, hybrid |
| size | 640x256 | up to 640x640 pixels |
| marker | no marker is displayed by default | any location (address or lat/long) |
If a comma is required in the location or marker arguments, use a / (forward slash) instead. These are examples of the location and marker arguments:
- 1/Elizabeth Street/Melbourne
- 40.714728/-73.998672
- Williamsburg/Brooklyn/NY
Even though the location argument can be specified using an address string, it is recommended that latitude/longitude is used where possible. In that case, the user can click on the map to open a new window where the map can be further manipulated.
