Tips & Warnings
You can also add other maps to your Geocities page. Repeat the steps above and place the maps in different sections of the page.
Maps are handy for visitors to your page if it gives a location of your business or your home. They can get directions directly from your Geocities page.
To remove the map, simply go to your Geocities setup page and remove the HTML code that you previously entered. This should remove the map from your page.
If you do not copy the HTML code exactly as it appears, the map will not show up on your Geocities web page.
You can only install Yahoo! based components on your Geocities web page because it is a Yahoo! based service.
