    Default Posting Google Maps

    Does posting maps work for anyone else? What is the hidden science to it? Or does it just not work with the latest version of google maps? I can't figure out how to get it to work.

    For this example I am using the CN Tower. First I try copying the link in the address bar once I have the location on the map. I paste it in here and click the wrap [map] tags button so it wraps around the link. Click preview and viola a map of the entire united states. w.t.f.



    Then I say okay maybe I need to copy the link else where. On google maps, I click the cog icon and click share and embed map. Under "share link" I copy and paste the link but it is the exact same link as in the address bar so again..



    Maybe using the short URL..

    Again U.S. Fooking eh



    Then I figure I'll try the embed map section. I copy the I frame code and paste

    Oh look its the entire planet earth. We're making real progress.


    I try playing with the size and positioning and still

    don't use the google maps code. When you create your post, click go advanced, then in the bottom row, third icon from the right is a map icon. Click that, ad put in the postal code. Voila.

    Is there not a better way? In some cases it works pretty good



    But in others it covers a large area. And in this case for some reason it makes a difference if there is a space entered or not lol.

    Wow, until I realized it was interactive, I was wondering how you got my G+ profile picture in the top corner, then I realized it is because I'm signed into Google

    You could also screen shot the image no?
