How to add a Google Map

This is a Google Map. I have used these extensively in the Great Ayton Shops, Pubs & Restaurants website:

The steps to create a Google Map are as follows:

Create yourself a Google account at http://www.google.co.uk/
Choose Mail
Choose Sign up for Google Mail (you do not need to use this mailbox - I have a Google mail account and a Hotmail account)
Once you have created your account then login to Google
You will be logged into your mail account
On the top line you will see Mail Calendar Documents Photos Reader Web More
Choose More then Maps then My Maps
Choose Create New Map
Type in the name & description
You can zoom in and add placement markers
When your map is completed hit Done
Click on your map name to display it
On the right hand side you will see link
Hit link then copy the HTML code where it says Paste HTML to embed in website
Login to Wikidot, go to the right page, hit Edit, find the location where you want to embed
Type [[embed]]
Paste the Google Map text
You will find a command [[/embed]] has been added
Delete all the embed text after the </iframe> command up to the [[/embed]] command
If you want to change the height and/or width then type in new values
Save the page
