Insert a Google Maps VisualForce Page into a Custom Object
I am an APEX VisualForce newbie trying to add a mapping VF page to a Custom Object. I copied and pasted some code I found on the answers community for Standard Object (Accounts) and was able to get it to work. Now I am trying to modify the code to work on a Custom Object (Equipment) and it is erroring out on line 1. First I got the error "Equipment__c standard controller doesn't exist" which I think was because I forgot one of the underscores between Equipment and the c. Now I am getting the error "Data type not supported". Any suggestion or help is much appreciated!
<apex:page standardController="Equipment__c">

In the VisualForce markup this is the exact error: "Error: Unsupported attribute customcontroller in <apex:page> in Equipment_Mapping at line 1 column 44"
