Q: Adding maps to a book=phantom feature?
So. After an hour or three looking through archives here and researching the web it seems you cannot add a map to any book other than the apple template with theme "photo essay" or "journal" wich cannot be accessed when using custom page sizes. The only way to put a map in your book is to make a screen shot of google maps and paste it into the book as a photograph. I am sure that if pressed apple will point out that they clearly state in their current advertising video that 'the new journal and photo essay themes support maps" Silly me I did not get the implied 'and nothing else does'. Seriously. Do like I say not like I do. Do not waste any more time trying to find a way to make this work. Just cut and paste screen shots into your book.
Oh yea and while on the subject of doing what I say not what I do. Do NOT try to switch themes after you have done work on a custom book. All your custom crops and special formatting will dissapear and you will not be able to get it back unless you have made a backup.
