Your best bet is likely to go to http://www.google.com/apis/maps/ and click on help or the API Discussion Group. It might help if you posted the URL of the map that you are having a problem with here so someone could look at it and see if they can figure out the problem or determine a solution.

Help!

My google map isn't working now.
For me, when logged in it works, but caseworkers, clients and co-workers need to use it as well.

When someone types in an address, and clicks search maps, the polygons that are used to show people what their local program is disappears off of the map completely.

Who can i go to at Google for this besides the group forums?

Take a look at www.Mapbuilder.net

They have a fairly simple import feature and a decent UI for adding locations with descriptions.

Working example: View map

Nice folks too.

hth,

Place the following in an html page:

You may have to adjust the width number and height number and you can make the frameborder 0 if you want no border.

it looks like the Wisconsin Special Olympics and the org. i am with are using the Google mapping technology in the same way, only our programs are not divided by county, but by city, school district, or sometimes, major roads.
I now have the map created but do not know how to get it on our website, does anyone have advice on this?

Below is our Map link:

Thanks

I have added a google map to my organization's Web site in order to show where our program locations are in New York City. Because people wanting to volunteer with us may want to find a place close to their work or home, this map offers a quite visual of our program locations. That map is located here: http://www.intlcenter.org/Collaborations.htm

A second, more simple, google map is located on our directions page: http://www.intlcenter.org/directions.html

For a quick customized map try the Google Gadget and Community Walk mashup information at http://tinyurl.com/2jyl69 . For more detailed maps linked to a data set try http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/

We've started using Google Maps for Special Olympics Wisconsin to display our areas, or regions of the state. That way we can determine quickly who best to assist a potential donor, volunteer or athlete. Our map is here: http://tinyurl.com/22v9a4

Our area boundaries are based on county. I found a map of Wisconsin counties on this Web site: http://www.gearthhacks.com/ I was able to open the file in Google Earth, export a KML file for Google Maps, open it there and trace the counties for our Area map.

Google Earth & Google Maps don't seem to be entirely compatible, but it did the trick for my purposes.

Cheers,

I've started using Google Maps on our website to allow people to see how accessible businesses in southern Utah are to those with disabilities. You can see it http://www.rrci.org/areamaps Just select a county, then a city, then a category, and then the marker for a business. Still rough and I'm still putting in the data, but it's more accessible and easier to use then the booklet we had.

We are in the middle of creating a map for our website at Metro Meals on Wheels.
Those that would like to volunteer or receive meals need to find out which of our 41 programs they need to contact. (the programs are divided up geographically - but are not divided by a specific kind of border, ie. counties, zip codes, it is quite random)
I am making a map where they type in their address, and the marker pops up in one of the 41 color coded program areas with the programs' contact info. I haven't seen anyone use google maps in this way before, but i think it will work splendidly

For what it's worth, here are some cool examples of how others have used Google Maps.

I added this functionality to the Somerville Open Studios webiste using the tools of a company called ZeeMaps.

It was easy to setup, tech support was responsive, and they are now offering it free of charge. I looked at a few other small co.'s that had written code to hook into Google's API; the folks at ZeeMaps had key functionality that we required, such as the ability to upload bulk data.

Take a look:

Thanks for the post on the Platial website. It's really easy to use and in just over an hour I've started a map of runaway and homeless youth programs in Michigan that's already got four sites on it with contact information for each site. This is great and easy and free. Thanks again.

I just learned of another mapping service called Platial, a collaborative, web-based atlas that allows users to create, manage and share custom maps, creating communities of interest around the places that matter to them. (Source: Omidyar.net)
