Interactive Google Maps In Post
 

No Google Maps API key, no mod install, no template edits, etc. This is based off YBMF's mod for 4.0, but a bit easier for the end user. Instead of the user having to input the full Google Maps link, just the address, name of business, etc is acceptable.

What do you mean it didn't show all the time? What didn't show? The map? The location? The button image? :confused:

Same thing here - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the same instance works once and then not again.

Doesnt work, where the map should be displays internet explorer cannot display page
