Lost Google Maps Widget

I use iWeb to create my webpage and had a google map showing location and giving directions. Now it is not there and when I try to put it back in with the GoogleMaps widget, I get a screen saying MobileMe no longer exists. How do I get a map back into my webpage in iWeb?

The problem is that the Google Maps Widget in iWeb and this is no longer supported by mobileme and wasn’t transitioned into iCloud.

The short answer to this question is to delete your google map widgets and replace them with a standard html snippet.

Go to google maps and search for the center of your map using your zip code or address’

If you’d like to change the size, zoom or appearance of the map then click on “Customise and preview embedded map.” and have a fiddle!


Go back to iWeb and delete your existing Google Maps widget.


Click the Show Media button (bottom right of screen) and drag and drop the HTML snippet widget onto your page.
