How do I create links to Yahoo! Maps?

Below, you'll find all the information you need to place a link to an interactive map or driving directions on your site. Please make sure you adhere to the Yahoo! Maps Terms of Use.

The preferred method for linking to our maps is to either make the address text link directly to the map, or to place two links near the address text that say Map and Driving Directions.

In addition, you can use the information below to create maps and driving directions forms on your site that link to Yahoo! Maps results.

For more advanced development, see our developers page at the Yahoo! Developer Network.
