For Queensland, Australia, but would prefer to show some street detail for town of Emerald. Thanks for any advice. Regards spinningjennie

Visitors can then zoom in and out on the area they want. Static maps, as Tail and I found out, you end up drawing them yourself or paying a lot of money to buy a license. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Multimaps is particularly good for Australian sites because the map of Australia seems to appear 1st, being 1st in their countries alphabet. Also I now see that googlemaps.com.au, rather than .com also allows me to see Australia 1st. Many thanks. spinningjennie (in reply to jaybee)

Put a search in multimap for the place you want. Zoom in to what you want. Then copy the link in the address bar and use that as a hyperlink in your site. When the user clicks on it it'll take them straight to the map you zoomed in to. They then have the choice of zooming out to see the major roads coming in to the area if they're not local. For example: Windsor Castle _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to spinningjennie)
