How To: Add A Map To A Website/Blog & Share With Friends
Do more with your Rrove Sets - we’ve introduced two new features that will allow you to bring your customized maps anywhere and collaborate on it with anyone.
Add to a Website or Blog
We’ve enabled you to take your map and add it to your blog, website or social network profile page. That way, your visitors can easily find and interact with your content on your pages. See an example using Las Vegas Hotels below.
How can you use this:
1. For MySpace: Create a map of your friends. Tip: Get them to add themselves using the Share feature (see below).
2. For business: Are you a real estate agent? Build a map of the places you’re selling and add them to your website. Do guided tours? Build a map of the packages you offer, listing the good spots that are part of the trip.
3. Travel: You’ve probably built a map of places you’ve visited or places that were important to you as you were growing up. Put them into your blog or site.
Its very easy to do. Go to a Set page > cut a snippet of code > paste on your website (yes, its like embedding a YouTube video on your site).
Share with Friends
You can also allow others to add places to Sets you’ve created. Create a set and let your friends add their interesting locations for you to consider and discover. This feature becomes useful in these cases:
1. Planning a trip: Create a Set of places to visit and/or hotel options. Get feedback from others going with you.
2. Eating out: List favorite restaurants and allow others to list their recommendations
3. Making a local map: Collaborate with neighbors to promote your city by identifying the best places to eat, stay and visit.
Its very simple to allow others to add places to your Sets. Simply go to ‘My Sets’ > ‘Edit’ your Set > check the box for ‘Allow others to add places to this Set’.
