I just tried on a draft Post and if you plot a route on your GoogleMap, the route shows up in the embedded map in your Post.

@ourmaninthefield-So in your case, you'd have to update both the GoogleMap and the resulting link in your blog's Post.

Just one question, is there a way to show a specific route. ffor example, if I go on a road trip, can I put in the daily locations and have a line show where I've travelled to?

Much like my travel blog - note that the only reason it's on Travelpod and now wordpress is that I can do the map very easily and show routes...

The code in the link you gave includes the word "iframe", and these (as well as forms, flash and java) are not allowed in WP.

(If you decide you want to replace that button image with a screenshot image of one of their widget maps, that would work just as easily too. Just replace the location in the button code for the image that they provide with the location in your wp.com files for your screenshot. You can even update that image with a new screenshot when the map changes.)

Good luck with your run!

I have given up and just have a map button on a separate page.

See what you think

Thanks for your ideas though.

Another possibility is making a screenshot of one of the routes and linking the image to the "View Route" page on MapMyRun.com

I see you can also export to Google Earth, so let me tinker a bit.

Otherwise, you might want to consider the link button they offer, which while isn't nearly exciting, is still usable.

However might have to learn !

Many thanks for replying so quickly.

It could be a number of things, but without a link to the blog we can't begin to guess. The site linked to your name is not a WP.com blog. If that's the site you're asking about, we will not be able to help you, as it's not the same software as ours.

I am trying to embed a map on my blog of a charity run I am doing in aid of a local children's hospice.

I use http://www.mapmyrun.com to map the run

http://www.mapmyrun.com/add_route_to_blog.php?r=508312634315

I have tried copying and pasting the map into HTML on my blog but no luck. All I get is the title and not the map.

Can anyone help ?

Robert
