LOUGHBOROUGH CARILLON

I\’m delighted to find that you have solved the problem of customizing Google Maps to show multiple places at once, which is a feature that I intend to add to the GCNA Website but have not yet got round to working on.

However, you seem to have used general lat/lon values for cities and towns, so that zooming in close does not show the actual tower locations. You are welcome to use the lat/long values from the British Isles section of the GCNA Website to improve your mapping so that close zoom-in will be useful to your visitors. Most of my values are fairly close, and some are absolutely precise (when Google\’s overhead photography fits my prior knowledge of the building)

If you find that information valuable, please consider sharing your Google Maps code with me; that would save me some time in developing a similar mapping facility for carillons in North America (and elsewhere). Thanks!

Hi Carl,

If it helps please feel free to use the code I made up, you’ll find the frame the map is on [1] here. You’ll need your own Google Maps API key if you haven’t got one already, you can get that [2] here.

If you look at the code I made up you’ll see a link and credit to a guy called Mike Williams, he wrote a stunning tutorial with examples of how to integrate the maps. Mike’s Google Maps site is [3] here.

Thanks for the offer of letting us use your co-ordinates. Appreciated. I’ll drop you an email so you have my details and will look forward to working with you to promote the art further!

:)
