Embed maps on your own site
March 18th, 2009
Just cooked up another cool feature as requested by a couple users, embeddable routes and trips! You can now embed any route or trip into your blog, website or other medium which allows an iframe to display. Rule of thumb: if you can embed a youtube video in the site, you can embed one of our maps.
Navigate to any route or trip page, and you will now see a small text box underneath the elevation information, labeled Embed URL. Just highlight the text inside, and copy to your site. You can change the width of the embed by editing the ‘width’ attribute of the iframe tag you just copied. By default it is set at 100%, but feel free to change it around. Things start looking crunched and ugly below about 550px though.
See for yourself:
Hope you are enjoying the updates!

Just playing with this idea here – http://cameron-stewart.blogspot.com/2010/01/test-bike-route-embed-with-ride-with.html?showComment=1264564399488_AIe9_BFgxnwrr_XmpMZpdgE1HRP0QAWmYgz58wz7ibIQPGfLQ_BkQ4fyWkq-0WWWm5CfjlzDlyNBK9G2G6jyoGA0HHxRpJxaQGsbqylpns8Wjg86ZAiy4WU4vtiCLt935KeogW32oUBm6J7CM9e43Sak-ix3ZEtls5WQ3oT_l1OMCnpyM2U7B6Lvt7PGcOq8OC8_jOMmIuHRsp38aVjQLyLaqMA0F6cr19Ex79TsC1I0Vjo3gVImq5e6hvNzIhYy87NrfHK5FIrd#c9034996971935785336
my account is set to metric yet it returns imperial on the embedded version.

Hey Cameron, I responded on your blog. Sorry for the delay, but the issue with units was fix. Thanks for using our stuff!

Hello, Feel free to delete this comment if you like, but I am using FireFox and cannot see the text box underneath the elevation information, labeled Embed URL. I am hoping to have my site up soon and would like to highlight the routes and other information I have on the RideWithGPS site.
Is there also a user feed (XML) that I could use on my site showing my activity? I am using Wordpress to build the site.
