Embedded Maps

In class we have been researching maps embedded into websites with custom pins that show personalized information for a potential client. We looked at three different sites and how they worked to understand how we can make our own version. 


Zillow-

Zillow is a real-estate website. The map makes it easy to find houses in an area and all of the information that may be needed.  I couldn't find exactly how they made the custom pins, but they embedded Bing Maps into their site to create the map.

Century 21

Century 21 is also real-estate website. This map has highlighted red areas to show what area is selected and also has similar pins to Zillow.  I couldn't find exactly how they made the custom pins, but they embedded Bing Maps into their site to create the map.


T-Mobile

This site shows all of the T-Mobile stores on the map. This one is created with Google Maps and also has custom pins providing information about each store.



I will use Google Maps to embed a custom map onto my site with custom pins.
