The Help file says:
*To insert large Google map to the List page, follow the instructions below:

  1. Proceed to the Visual Editor and select a page you wish to modify.
  2. Right click somewhere on the page, select Insert -> Google map.
  3. Modify the code given. To define the location, replace the "Address" or "Latitude"/"Longitude" with your field names. Define the map size (width/height) according to your needs. Insert API key. API key can be omitted in this code if it is specified for one of the fields in the Map: "View as" settings dialog.*
    I cannot perform the 2nd step. When I right click "somewhere on the page" I get a Insert -> Button and Insert -> PHP code snippet
    I know I can use the View As... Map dialog if I double click on a field. But I don't want to insert a field there.
    Am I wrong?

Hello Cristian,
This button only gives me the list of available fields. There is no Insert -> Google map anywhere

Sorry, you are right. Click the "Insert code ..." button (pencil on a sheet) on the toolbar in the visual editor.

Cristian I don't think there is a Insert -> Google map command at all.However, the manual says that there is. So my opinion is that there should be a kind of alignment of the manual with the actual functionality. Also, it doesn't make sense for the Google map to be attached to a field (View As... Map in the Visual editor Properties) because the map needs multiple fields to operate.
By the way, "Insert code..." leads to 1) Insert PHP code snippet 2) Insert CAPTCHA 3) Insert Button

What page you trying to add this Google map to? 'Insert Map' function only makes sense on the list page. Probably you trying to add it on some other page.

Ok, now this makes sense! The "Insert... Google Map" exists only in the List page! I want to add to the View page and it can only be done from the field Properties (doubl click on the field).
Thanks
