Press the button in the FCKeditor toolbar, and a new dialog will open allowing to configure the parameters of the map that you want to show.

With these inputs you can control the dimensions of the map as they will appear in your final page. You can also drag and resize the placeholder image that appears while you are in the editor.

### Map zoom

You can control this way the level of zoom of the map. You can use either the top dropdown or the embeded + and - controls in the map.

### Map center

These inputs set the center of the map. You can also use the arrow buttons embeded in the map or even drag and drop the map itself.

### Location search

## Additional Info

When you go close the dialog, a placeholder item will be added to your content representing the current map. It will have the proper dimensions and a black border around it, and it will feature a Google Maps logo at the center.

You can click to select it and drag one of the corners to resize it, but remember that the center of the map and the position of the marker won't change, so you might need to check again in the editing dialog that everything is fine

You can add to your page as many maps as you want, the system is prepared to work with various maps at the same time.

To edit an existing map you can select it and then click again the toolbar button, or use the entry in the context menu, or even just double click it. Whatever you want.

Existe un problema por el cual si intentas hacer una previsualización en FCKeditor de una página que contiene un mapa, la previsualización no se mostrará
