dorjeeThere are a number of plugins that allow you to insert Google Maps or Google Earth extended from Maps in a WP blog. For example: "Google-Maps-Advanced" (or "inline-Google-Maps"), "XML-Google-Maps", etc.. These plugins (which are often a mess) are interesting, but probably not offer the flexibility of basic javascript code of Google Earth and Maps. So the question is: how to insert a Google Earth or Maps script in a WP post or page?
I give you the solution here. Just install the Inline Javascript Plugin. Then in the page or post place the Google Earth (or Maps) code between the two tags [inline] and [/inline]. Then it only remains to put the DIV GE or Maps below. As for the procedure call is normally placed in the <BODY> tag with onLoad ... it is enough to make a javascript command as window.onload inserted at the end of the script (just before the counter-tag [/inline]). An example below to better understand:
[inline]
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key= write here your Google API key "></script>
<script>
google.load("earth", "1");
var ge = null;
function init() {
google.earth.createInstance("map3d", initCallback, failureCallback);
}
function initCallback(object) {
ge = object;
ge.getWindow().setVisibility(true);
}
function failureCallback(object) {
}
// calling of the init procedure when page is loading
window.onload = init;
</script>
[/inline]
<div id='map3d' style='height: 500px; width: 500px;'></div>
