fullscreen google maps?

June 18, 2012 6:41 AM

Is there any way to view a google maps window that's embedded in a webpage in a new window all by itself?

Here's what I'm talking about. Once you toggle your selections, there's a 'show map' option, but it's way too small for my purposes. I'd love to be able to view my selections on a full screen google maps page, but can't figure out how to do it.

Clicking on the Google logo in the lower left map corner will open up in full view but won't have whatever data etc. that are applied afterwards.

I can't get the google map to show up. There are no selections to toggle when you click on your link.

When I clicked on your map link, I had to go back a few pages to select the criteria for a search. Then the search results offered the option to show the results on a map. I clicked that and saw the Google Map embedded in the page. Sure enough, clicking on the Google logo in the lower left corner opened a new page showing only the Google Map, but the extra information wasn't included.
