Miscellaneous
I am currently working on a government site, trying to start my mapping process. As I am doing this a little blind, I was wondering if someone could give me advice telling me where to begin with this process. I have created an API key through google, and have linked it to this domain, but nothing comes up when I enter the information into a page in the domain. What am I doing wrong? http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/epidemiology/DiseasePrevention/indextest1.htm
any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
First of all, please copy this content to notepad and save it to *.htm (for instance, map.htm) Second, to suppose that you have created an API key through google with your web site URL ( for example, http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/api), you should move map.htm to under virtual path api. Third, key=ABQIAAAAoB5Y1ibhTVqqF2LugJ5tdxTdDwYDXDH52oLs-2MW0CjwGBqfrxSoCqDtMi cF1gh0V0UpAnDr0WK_oA should be changed to what you get API Key sent from google after you click "Generate API Key" and then it should work. Good Luck
