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 10. There is no need for any Google API. NOTICE: The web viewer MUST be named "web" from the Object Info window. (View -> Object Info)

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.

To give credit where it is due, the bulk of the html for this came from raybaudi at http://forum-en.filemaker.com. I just saw an opportunity for a nice plug-n-play function.

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!
