NEW VERSION!!! Shows embedded (map only portion) Google Map within a web viewer object. No API required!

Sample Input:
fnGoogleMap ( 1600 Pennsylvania ; Washington ; DC ; 20500; 12 )
Sample Output:
http://local.google.com/maps?q=1600pennsylvania,Washington,DC,20500&z=12&output=embed&iwloc=0


 Then copy & paste into FileMaker Advanced's Edit Custom Function window.

Description:

Use this function to define a custom web address within a web viewer object. It will display an embedded map from Google Maps instead of the entire page as with the standard Google Maps output included with Filemaker. There is no need for any Google API.

The last variable "Zoom" sets the default zoom level of the embedded map. It supports values from 1-19. 1 has the least detail with 19 having the most.

This function has been significantly simplified from the original version. It now simply calls a URL instead of building a page with HTML. If you are using the old version you may have noticed that it no longer draws the location pushpin on the map. This version fixes that.

Note: these functions are not guaranteed or supported by BrianDunning.com. Please contact the individual developer with any questions or problems.

This is my Custom Function and I want to edit it

Thanks for this function! It works much nicer than the FM 10 version!

Great function. Solved my needs immediately. Anyone know of a similar function that can map multiple locations?

Shai,
As is this function only supports United States addresses. Though it could probably be modified for international use.
