Hi Ashley I suspect (although it's not clear from the link you sent) that the person has created a custom map. Strictly - as far as I'm aware - this doesn't actually create a calendar event, but the end result is the same - people get to see your "event" (which is actually just a custom "place") when they look on google maps. If this is the case (list members, please ping if I'm utterly wrong!) then you do it like this: 1. Go to http://maps.google.co.uk / http://maps.google.com 2. Click on "My Maps" (top left, in blue bar) 3. Click "Create new map" 4. Sign in (if you haven't already) or create a Google account 5. Put a title and description in the box on left. Title should be something like "Chester County Art Association events" or whatever 6. Navigate the map and drop a placemark (the blue drop icon on top left of the map pane) onto the event location 7. Give the event(s) a title and description - I'd suggest putting the date in the title field Click "done" or "save". That's it.

Hello Everyone, I am trying to post an event to Google Maps so when people search for our address they also can see an event associated with our location. I've posted a link below of how I've seen this done by others (in this instance it is a jamfest). Does anyone know how to do this? I'm getting scared by HTML coding :) Example of Google Map event: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=jamfest&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hl=en&t=h&z=4 Thanks so much for your help!
