Anyone know of a simple way to include a dynamic Mapquest map instead of a Google one?

Hi Bobby,
You’ll need to do this using markup items rather than an Action as there isn’t currently a MapQuest Action available. It is, however, very easy to do.

Here’s how;

  1. Open up MapQuest in your web browser by going to http://www.mapquest.com/
  2. Locate the position you want using the search tools on the left hand side of the page
  3. Once you’ve the map location set click on the Link/Embed button on the right hand side of the page
  4. At the foot of the menu that drops down select and copy the code that starts with ‘<iframe…’
  5. In Freeway select Insert > Markup Item…
  6. In the resulting dialog box paste the code you just copied in step 4
  7. IMPORTANT: The code will set the width and height of the map to a fixed size. In my tests it appears to be;
<iframe style="height: 270px; width: 450px;" ...

Change both of these values to 100%;

<iframe style="height: 100%; width: 100%" ...
  1. Close the HTML Markup dialog box and size and position the box where you want the map to appear.
    Regards,
    Tim.
