For our reunion, I put in the hotel's address and zip from Google maps into the Reunion Planner form. However, the resulting page displays some location a half mile north of there.

Entered: 6121 North Ih 35, Austin, TX 78752 (Crowne Plaza Hotel Austin)

Any suggestions, other than embedding my own map?

thanks,

Hi Dick,

I added the city to the street address and that gave the Google app enough information to plot the address better.

Thank you, Jessica. This helped some and led me to experimenting with google maps until I found the magic combination: like yours (address, city, state, no zipcode) plus replacing "Ih 35" (which was from Google's displayed address) with "I H 35". Now it hits dead on.

Thanks for the insight and quick response,
Dick

It would like to incorporate a custom google map into the website. The link is: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=206078154127191063413.00049ded64fd40a6128e9&z=11

It this doable?

Thanks.

On that google page, look for the option for Link in the upper right, and click on the second option for embedding. This will give you code for an iframe that you can paste into the Source of the Editor window on your reunion planner page.

Very cool idea.
