  Hi folks,

  I want to embed a map with all my interest points. Which map should I use? Google or Bing? Google map can be easily embeded in WP, but how do I create google map with my own interest points there?

  Bing map can let you easily put your places on the map, but it seems WP.Org doesn’t allow Bing (or iFrame type) map.

  How can I make it?

  Thank you very much.

  This question is a general question, that’s why I don’t think it is needed to show the blog here, but anyway, here is the blog:

  The only choice you have on a free hosted WordPress.com blog is Google maps. Also note that we do not provide support for self hosted WordPress.ORG installs on this support forum. If you are referring to one then you must post to the forum the support bot points to http://wordpress.ORG/support/

  Thanks, I am talking about the free WP.

  Here is an example: how can this guy make a google map like this:

  This might not be related to WP but do you know how to make map like this?

  Thanks in advance.

  No I do not and we don’t provide support for that. I’m sorry but you will have to locate instructions on the internet for creating a Google map as they are the only ones we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  Make it in Google maps or whatever, then take a screenshot of it. That’s all we can do here.
