• either link to http://www.clubfatass.com/map/macro or click on "Build a GMap macro" under your name on the left hand column
• open a separate browser window with your Agenda page and open the Edit tab
• drag the map around with your mouse until the area of your event is more or less in the centre. Use the zoom function (the arrows and plus/minus sign in the upper left corner of the map) for more or less detail.
