Screenshots of the new features with details:

Step 1 is to drag the Google Map widget to your tab work area.

Next, add your address for location 1. Additional options show based on your TabSite plan for each fan page. Below is the view of a Gold Plan TabSite user. Use the “Add Marker” to add your second and subsequent locations to the map.

Here is a view of the Map on a fan page showing two locations and using a custom logo icon.

When we have checked the “Get Directions” toggle in the TabSite Manager so it is live for users, here is an example of visual directions on the map with option at bottom for the user to select to view the written directions.
