Integrating Google Places business details map on your website?

[idv]

Hi

I have created a business listing on google maps, is there a way I can integrate the map containing the listing of the business into my existing website.

I know you can do it via the Google Map API, but I have seen some examples on the web where the business is just including the map from the google places listing on their website, and if you click on the marker icon it shows the details such as directions, show service area etc as it appears if you clicked on a business marker via google maps

I hope this makes sense?

Just embed it from the map in your listing

Thanks but how do I get the correct URL to place in the SRC of the IFRAME?

For example yours is
q=uk+small+business+directory&hl=en&cd=1&ei=q0KmTMOjPI_VjAftlrCHBg&ie=UTF8&view=map&cid=12819958686663368046&ved=0CHIQpQY&hq=uk+small+business+directory&hnear=&t=h&ll=52.028865,-1.568792&spn=0.006337,0.013711&z=16&iwloc=A&output=embed

where can I get the URL required for my business listing? When I search for the business listing on google in the result returned when I hover over the listing I get

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl#

?

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Sorry if its a stupid question

Go to your maps listing (I assume you have one?)
Click on the map
When it has enlarged set to Satellite (or whatever preference is)
Click to show labels (if this is an advantage to you)
Click on link (just above map, top right)
Either copy that embed code or customise it

Thanks

Is there a way of just having only your business listing showing on the map? When I enter the name of the business there are several with similar names in the UK and surrounding area, so in the listing there lots of other businesses also listed with mine on the map

 

[UKSBD]

have you got a listing?
If so what is the reference number?

Just to add

A better alternative is to use a static map via gadgets, then link it to wherever you like

http://www.uksmallbusinessdirectory.co.uk/map.asp?CompanyID=121006

You can add a directions gadget under it too

Thanks - How do I find the reference number? Sorry for the basic questions

 

[UKSBD]

you should have a cid= in the URL copy the number after that.
Or just post the URL and I'll have a look.
