Help your web visitors find you by linking to, or embedding on your page, a Google map that defaults to your location. Most of our buildings are searchable by name in Google maps. Once you locate the building, you can get the link or the embed code for your site
- Visit google.com/maps
- Enter the name of the building in the search field, e.g. DeWaters Residence Hall.
- The map will focus and the place information panel will be displayed on the left
- Click on the Share icon ( )
- The first tab will provide you the link. e.g. https://goo.gl/maps/xKDUkNxkvrn1MEi49
- For embed code:
- Click the second tab, “Embed a map”
- You will get a preview of the embedded map view. Change the size of the frame as desired, and zoom in or out to adjust.
- When the view looks like you want it, click COPY HTML
- Open Notepad or another text editor and paste the contents of your clipboard. It will look something like this:
