  I’d really like to add a OpenStreetMap map to my blog pages. There’s a really nice way of doing this for Google Maps – but I really need Open Street Map…… pretty please? I don’t think it would be difficult – it works in an iframe same way as google. e,g, <iframe width=”425″ height=”350″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” marginheight=”0″ marginwidth=”0″ src=”http://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.html?bbox=-2.2979,51.7012,-2.131,51.7788&layer=mapnik” style=”border: 1px solid black”></iframe>

  Thanks
  Huwgle

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There is already a plugin – but presume I can’t add this to WP.com

  You can’t use plugins here, but there MIGHT be a way using the Gigya Shortcode, which you can read about on http://wpbtips.wordpress.com

  Thanks – gave it bash following the instructions but didn’t seem to work

  From:
  http://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.html?bbox=-2.2979,51.7012,-2.131,51.7788&layer=mapnik

  I came up with:
  [gigya src="http://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.html" bbox="-2.2979,51.7012,-2.131,51.7788" layer="mapnik"]

  Might be doing it wrong…..

  Wrong, because the gigya shortcode is for flash objects/URLs, not any object or URL.
