My Customized Google Map


I want to showcase the use of maps for students. I have created the map with the features that are essential to know for the students who come to Karlskrona, Sweden (my home town) to study higher degree courses like masters degree.

The features are:
·      3 Supermarket locations for busying daily groceries etc.
·      2 Banks.
·      Railway station i.e. Karlskrona Central Railway Station.
·      2 Hospitals. ( 1 main hospital and the other centrum vardcentral)
·      4 Restaurants.
·      Library.

I have created the talbe “markups” in the database with the same number of fields as resource 1 suggested. And then I have started adding locations, and I have used resource 2 to get the longitude and latitude values of the locations.
And in main map.html page, I have added more location placeholders with the names as restaurant, library, bank etc. and then added the icons, which will be suitable for these locations from resource 3. And then I have changed the central position of my map so that all the locations of the map are shown in one frame. I have also modified the zoom level to 14 and the window width and height of the content frame. Check the live example HERE
