Using the map capsule is just about as easy as using Google Maps- the only additional steps involve customizing added information! By following these brief steps below, you'll create a useful, informative map to compliment your writing in no time flat.
- Click to add the Map Capsule to your Hub - its window will pop up.
- Title the capsule if you like (this is not mandatory).
- Select the default map type using the dropdown menu- you can choose to display your map as a roadmap, satellite image, or in terrain.
- Type the address or name of your location in the "Enter an address:" text box, then click on the "search" button.
- If your address or name reads, it will pop up below in bold with hyperlinked text reading "Pin a marker" or "just go to this location" following; if it does not, try again with a more specific address or well-known location name.
- If multiple locations show up in your search, select the location of your choice by clicking on one of the links.
If you click the "Pin a marker" link, a window will pop up allowing you to name your location and give a short (max 150 characters) description of it, as well as check and change the address. When you are finished entering and editing your information, click "done." The window will be reduced to a bar listing the location name and the location's marker will show up on the map.
To add an additional location, repeat steps four through seven for as many locations as you like. When you have added in all desired locations, pan the map to your desired viewpoint using your mouse. Click the save button at the top of the capsule window That's it! Have fun!
