| Love your site. For some reason when I paste this formula, Filemaker wants to identify the word zoom in the formula as a field. Any thoughts on this? Filemaker 13 User |

| Hello Corey, did you set Zoom as parameter under the customer function window? you need to set Zoom, Latitude and Longitude as custom functions |

| Hello Hamidou, whats the error you are getting and what version of filemaker are you using? The Google new API uses frames, if that's the error you are getting, use this script. "data:text/html, <style type='text/css'> html,body { overflow:hidden; } </style> <html> <iframe width='295' height='185' frameborder='0' style='border:0' src='https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?key=YOURGOOGLEAPIKEY&q=" & Latitude &" , "& Longitude & "&zoom=15' </iframe> </html>" where latitude and longitude are varibales. |

| Hi Robinson, Thank you very much for prompt reply. I am using Filemaker Pro advanced 12.1. When I am using the script, nothing happens and seems it doesn't work . Does this script work for several coordination as the same time? Best, /Hamid |
