Google Maps

[secsee1]

How do people show their location by a Google map on their websites, I have tried to copy & paste my location but it will not let me copy the map?

What I generally do to show someone an actual map, rather than telling them the postcode and letting them find it themselves, is to do a print screen (look on your keyboard, top right) and paste it into a word doc, save that and either send as an attachment or print it for them.

Click on the "Link" icon (looks like handcuffs) - this gives an URL which you can customise and copy.

If you are running windows 7, there is a propgram called 'snipping tool'. You can access by start button then typing 'snip' into the search box at the bottom of 'pop-up'. It allows you to select an area of the screen then save it as a jpeg file. I think it is easeier than using print screen.

If you make a shortcut to it and put the shortcut into the task bar, then you can call it up at anytime you need it.

Hope this helps

as Jonathan-Joe says, there is the link button on the top left (next to the printer symbol) - click on that and you can copy the link that it provides

... the full url is already selected so you only need to Ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard, and you can also tick the box to get a shortened url if you prefer.

You will need to create a listing of your site on http://www.google.com/places/ then your business information would be appear or display on Google maps.
