Google Maps

Hey Everyone!

The last few days I have been looking at Google maps and trying to create a customized Google map of a location from a recent holiday that I have been own. Last year I went on a holiday to Europe and visited many amazing places, however, one of my favourite places that I visited was Cardiff in Wales. Therefore, I decided to create a Google map with some of the places that I visited in Cardiff. These places included:

• National Museum Cardiff
• The Doctor Who Experience
• Roald Dahl Pass 
• Cardiff Castle

I added the markers to all these places, however when I embedded it in my blog the markers were not visible. I do not know what the problem is but as soon as I can figure it out I will fix it on my blog. I included some explanations for each of the locations as well as some pictures that I took as well. 

One of my favourite places I visited in Cardiff was the Doctor Who Experience where I could explore the different costumes and sets, etc. from the production of Doctor Who. 

Another place that I visited was the Roald Dahl Pass which is one of the locations that Doctor Who and Torchwood was filmed. It was amazing to see this in person! When I was there, there was a summer festival on.

I also visited Cardiff Castle which was amazing as I love castles! Inside the castle itself there was wonderful detail in the decorations and each of the rooms. 

Finally, another interesting place I visited was the National Museum Cardiff. I enjoyed wandering around and looking at the paintings, sculptures, ceramics, etc. in the museum.

I did have a few issues with adding the images to my map in terms of getting the URLs to work, however, I was able to eventually find a link that worked. Unfortunately, because the markers are not working in the embedded map the images cannot be viewed, however, I hope to keep investigating to see if there is a way to get the markers to appear on the embedded map in my blog. 

I will update my blog if I am able to get the markers to work.

Update: Thanks to the YouTube video that Nouf included on her blog I was able to work out how to get the markers on my Google Map to appear!! Thanks Nouf!
