Step-by-step guide

2. Before you add a particular map to your website you will need to visit the Google Maps site.
3. On the left upper side you will see a search field which can be used for finding a specific location.
4. Type the location you are looking for and make sure that your map zoom level is how you wish to be represented on your site.
5. Once you have your location and zoom level set you will need to retrieve the embed code for inserting it onto your site.
