Google Map on Website

[bjp11scot]

Hello Good People
I wonder if I can enlist your valuable assistance concerning placing a Google map on my new website?

1) I have managed to place the Google map OK - no problem there
2) I then click the link to 'See the map in a lager image' - again no problem
3) Now the problem!
I wish to keep my website open after I have closed the larger Google image - this does not happen

What code is necessary and where do I place this so that I can make my visitor return to my website?

After your earlier advice concerning external links I managed to successfully do this by adding " target=_blank" within the coding
I have tried experimenting with the code that accompanies the imported Google map link but have been unable to find a solution

I am not very conversant with HTML so am really fumbling along and learning as I go

Can anyone assist me?

Kind Regards

Bob

Adding target="_blank" as the last parameter works for me

target="_blank"> View Larger Map</a>

It opens the larger map as a new page, thus leaving your own site open in a tab.

I think I might add another link "See life in a lager image"

Windy thanks for your return - appreciated

Would it be possible for you to copy your complete coding relevant to your own location and I will try and replicate the target="_blank"> with my own
(monkey see - monkey do)
Sorry I am a bit confused with some coding practices - still a lot to learn

This page maybe too much information at the moment but experiment and you could end up with something really fancy.

I know this thread is old, but there's a great tutorial for adding a google map (and doing more with them) here:

In fact w3schools solves many of my web challenges (am writing my own page)
