Maps of Australia for your web site - absolutely free!

Simply, follow the steps outlined below and link directly to a range of Australian maps showing location of your choice.

There are no limits on the number of maps you can create!

Links to aus-emaps.com maps can also be included in emails or embedded in electronic documents (MS Word, PDF, for example) for use by friends/clients who have access to the Internet.

You can link to any map in the Thematic Map Series. Just click "Link" option under the map to generate a full URL address of the map you are viewing.

Full URL address of a map has three parameters: Lon= (longitude) and Lat= (latitude) of the center of the map, and zoom level (either zl= or zln=, depending on the map). Ampersand (&) is used to separate individual parameters.

As default, maps built with Google Map and Virtual Earth have no marker displayed but you can create one by adding &tx= parameter to the URL (eg. &tx= This is my favorite place. )

You can link to Google Map and Virtual Earth thematic maps with the adr= parameter instead of Lat and Lon (eg. adr=113 Monaro Crescent, Red Hill, ACT, Australia). Those maps can accept also additional parameters to enable customisation of the text associated with a marker appearing on the map.

The following table outlines all possible options for linking to aus-emaps.com thematic maps:

You've got two map templates to choose from - see sample topographic map and street map (please note, both maps are linked so, you only need to decide which one to choose as a starting map!)

HTML code for web pages

URL link for emails and electronic documents

Hints: Longitude and latitude are in decimal degrees. Avoid characters other than letters and numbers. Instead of spaces between words use %20 (most browsers will insert this for you automatically when you paste your text into a URL address box).

To set custom zoom level on startup of a topographic map please add additional parameter to the URL address, for example: &zl=0.06

Valid zoom values are between 0.002 and 20. For example: 0.004 is equivalent to "Streets" zoom level, 0.02 to "Suburbs", 0.08 to "Region" and 1 to "State". Experiment for best results!

Here is a tool to help you define geographic coordinates: manual geocoder

Or simply go to the main topographic map page, zoom to location of interest, click "link to this map" and copy URL address of the returned map (don't forget to replace text in the URL address that is included after tx= parameter with your own or leave blank!)

Test your map right away!
