Doesnt work for me

not work too..

Doesn't work for me, either.

I got it to work: There's an extra space in the code which needs to be removed:

You posted: " . . .& key= . . ."

Remove the space between the & and the key=

so that it looks like this:

" . . .&key= . . ."

Anyone have any suggestions on how to alter this code so that the map is not static but allows for zooming and panning, etc?

Works great removed the space as required and did not add the [ ] just your key and it works like a charm. Great for real estate Web sites for exact position on a house for sale or rent.

Very cool!!
Thank you..
I second the question about zoom etc :)

+1

I could definitely use the zoom in/out feature.
