Google Map VF Page Position
I am trying to display a Google map on a dashboard with markers to indicate status at several locations. I obtained the VF code below from the forum that does do what I want, but it offsets the map on the page leaving a blank space of about 30% of the page width to the left. I don' t really want to become an expert on Google maps since I only need it for this one case. Also, I'm famiilar with HTML, but not an expert. Is there anyone who can explain why I'm getting the blank space, and how I can control the position of the map on the page? Would save me a lot of time and a headache. Thanks!
