S355 Insert a Google Map

Use the S355 Tag to insert Google Maps on your site. This component can display one or more location markers for single or multiple locations, but you can only add one Google map to each page. The map also provides a link to directions.

Warning: Do not use this S-Tag on a secure site.

Google Maps requires you to configure several Site Options (SDPs):

  • GMAP_ENABLED - Set to TRUE

  • GMAP_API_ADMIN_KEY - Enter the API key for administrative side, supplied by Google at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html 

  • GMAP_API_USER_KEY = Enter the API key for the user side domain name if different from the administrative side, also obtainable at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html 

  • GMAP_BASE_URL = Only needed if a secure proxy is to be used; otherwise, not needed
