IMPORTANT – THE IMAGE SHOULD BE SQUARE. We recommend around 500 x 500 pixels as a good size. Minimum 200 x 200 pixels.

7. Address: Write in the address of your business. Usually this will be enough to place the marker accurately on the map.

8. Add marker to the map: The map marker should display in the correct position when you click FIND ADDRESS ON MAP. However for final exact placement just drag the marker to the exact place it should be.

9. GPS: The GPS co-ordinates will automatically display depending on the position of your map marker. This information is very useful for finding your premises using sat-nav devices.

10. Select Street View: You can select the map at the top of the page to show Google maps street view rather than the map. If you select street view it will appear automatically in a box below the map on this page if street view is available in your area. If you just see a grey box you can try repositioning your marker on the main map. When street view appears you can zoom and navigate to the exact view that you want to show. Whatever you set up as the street view that you want will be saved when you submit your listing for review.

Your listings page will always show your position on the smaller Google map further down the page.
