hello!

i did manage to get this working but there is a strange issue with my embedded maps; there is no location "pins" visible. i tried with public addresses or my custom saved maps. i just get a map with no "destination" pin.

any clues?
thanks

Anyone have a solution?

Can anybody tell me how to get the code that is required to be pasted between the [SAVEDMAP] tags?
I have created a map and saved it to "my places" in google maps, but have not been able to find any code that actually works.

This is a link to the map:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT...a63409a48ae93f just in case I am doing things wrong.

I figured it out, you get the code from the link icon above the details of your saved map, and drop the
https://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?
bit in front of the URL.
