My contribution:

Add

&output=embed

at the end of the URL, and get a view without the google navigation elements.

Cheers!

I’ve tried to put this kind of field on accounts directly, but the link is always:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&q=+++++++&ie=UTF8&z=4

Course, the map won’t show the data correctly. If i put the addresses manually, it works.

Best regards

Thanks for an interesting article!

I had a try at adding googlemaps in an iframe as described above, and noticed that you must change the order of steps 3.4 and 3.5

It may not be obvious to all.

I would describe it like this:
3. Fill in the following data:
1. FieldName: GoogleMap
2. Display Label: Google Map
3. Generate URL: check
4. Max Size: 255 (must be done before entering the default value below)
5. Default Value (now this is where the magic happens):
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&q={shipping_address_street}+
{shipping_address_city}+
{shipping_address_state}+
{shipping_address_postalcode}+
{shipping_address_country}
6. IFrame Height: 400
