Embedded maps in a blog post

The power of Wordpress seems to have no limits and the latest plugin I have managed to fire up is one called Insights. One of it’s really nifty features is the ability to embed Google Maps into Blogs Posts.

A little more on Google Maps from Wikipedia…

Google Maps (for a time named Google Local) is a free web mapping service application and technology provided by Google that powers many map-based services including the Google Maps website, Google Ride Finder and embedded maps on third-party websites via the Google Maps API. It offers street maps, a route planner for bicycles, pedestrians (routes less than 6.2 miles[1]) and cars, and an urban business locator for numerous countries around the world.

So, let’s embed a few maps…

Papua New Guinea:

Let’s try… the suburb I lived in before coming to PNG (Maraylya):

Let’s try putting in Mum’s street located on the Central Coast near Gosford (NSW)…
