How do I easily link to Yahoo! Maps on my web site?

Our service is free to the Internet community, and you are welcome to link to Yahoo! Maps.

Yahoo! provides a variety of APIs that enable developers to integrate maps on their sites. We simply require that the link be interactive and that the map images are hosted on our site and not on yours. This policy ensures that you benefit from improvements and updates to our mapping service.

Please note: Any modification of our maps is in violation of our license agreement. For more information, visit the Yahoo! Developers Network.

How do I create links to Yahoo! Maps?

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 following information to create maps and driving directions forms on your site that link to Yahoo! Maps results.
