You can now embed parts of Liftershalte.info into articles on hitchwiki. It's quite simple:

  • Go to maps.hitchwiki.org, zoom to the place you want to embed and if you want, add some markers.
  • Click on link here in the box to the left.
  • A tag for hitchwiki will show up ("To include in hitchwiki.org:"). Just copy&paste this string (<map lat='xx.xxxxxxxxxx' lng='x.xxxxxxxxxxx' zoom='xx' view='x' />) to your article.
  • Note that this feature works only for users with javascript enabled browsers.

There are some more parameters, that you can add:

  • float='right' to put in on the right of the page.
  • width='200' or height='300' to change the size.

If something doesn't work for you or you have questions, please contact MrTweek.

For some examples, see these articles:
