If you didn’t noticed ;-)

If you didn’t noticed there is no help file for the Editor. We are writing it…

But the fact is that some functions may be hidden for users because they are not obvious even if we work hard on the user interface.

So, if you didn’t noticed:

  • You can edit the map by right clicking the node in the treeview corresponding to your map
  • When you edit a map from the Map Dialog you can change the center of your map by dragging the map in the preview
  • From the toolbar you can click the “Quick Add” button to add markers just by clicking on the map. You can later edit the marker properties by clicking the marker icon (and then the “Edit” link in the Info Window) or by double clicking in the row corresponding to the marker in list (below the map)
  • You can drag a marker on the map if you want to change is location
  • If you right click on the map, a contextual menu appears. You can go to the center of your map or change it. You can also change the default zoom of your map

A lot of people ask us how to see the map they have published.
The next build we clarify the process, but in the meantime here is a quick answer:

First you need to publish your map by clicking the Publish Button in the toolbar. You can preview your map from the Publish Dialog by clicking the Preview Button. The URL address of the Preview page is the address that you can use to share or put on your website.

The address will look like this: http://generator.click2map.com/maps/your_user_name/your_map_name.

Of course the future help file will explain in detail all the features of the Editor.

    I’ve been looking for something like this for a while…a complete mash up utility.

  3. Rene Says:

    I’d like to embed the map code into another page. Is it cool to copy the source code, remove the google adsense script and embed the map code into my page?

  4. Antony Zanetti Says:

    Hi Rene,

    Currently the only way you to embed your map in you website is to use an iframe pointing to the map address.

    A Pro Version will be available when we release the final 1.0 version with more options for the publishing and you’ll be able to remove the ads as well.

    How can I remove a published map ? It was only for testing.

  6. Antony Zanetti Says:

    In the next coming version you’ll be able to unpublish a map.
    If you really need to remove the published map now, send us an email at labs [at] click2map.com and we’ll remove it from the database.
