How to get Google Maps and Directions...
on Your Website?
How you can have Google Maps and directions on your website.
Because Google Maps is a free web-based embeddable map application. It can easily be place/embedded into any website. Natively, as part of Google Map's pre-designed functions, Google Map includes the ability to generate and display driving directions. All that's required is a web designer/developer to get these codes from the Google Map Developer Website and format it to your location and presto you've got a map and driving directions on your website.

What makes this really unique is there is no need to have your website visitors navigate away from your site in order to view the map or directions. Everything is done seamlessly on your own website.

Therefore it's a great feature to offer web visitors if your business is one that requires customers, patients, or clients to travel to your location. Now instead of having to give directions to people over the phone, ect... you can refer them to your website and know they will get exact correct directions with a map.
