It works for SpotWalla also, the height and width need to be changed a little to fit the box provided or I need to learn how to change the box size
This code
"http://spotwalla.com/myLocation.php?id=559-1269922255&height=350&width=425&scale=on&zoom=on&scrollZoom=on&format=map"

will produce this map

View Larger Map
The initials are my initials as programed in SpotWalla. They also allow a security feature to be turned on or off that blocks approximately a 5 mile area around your home or designated area. I have that feature turned on so when this is in public view nobody can see the actual location of my home.

From the SpotWalla - Device Management site: http://spotwalla.com/help/devices.php#last the last option,
"Last Location Widget
A device's last location widget is essentially a URL to a page that displays the last known location on a map or as text. The URL can be used directly on a webpage or wrapped in an IFRAME element and displayed in a blog or anything else you can think of.

By default this option is disabled for a device. To enable the option, follow these steps:

1. Log into SpotWalla and click the My Devices link in the upper right menu.
2. Click the Security link for the device you want to manage.
3. To enable the last known location widget, check the appropriate box. To disable the device's last known location widget, uncheck the appropriate box.
4. Click the Update button.

To copy the widget's URL, click inside the field containing the URL to highlight the URL. You can now copy it to the clipboard and paste wherever you choose. "

There is also a chart on the appropriate parameters to use and options.

*** I don't remember seeing this topic anywhere else on our forums and found it by accident when I wanted to test the SpotWalla mapping feature. I think it would be a good topic to move into a general discussion area to tech tip.
I'm still in my first marriage. I know it's wrong to talk about it so temporary like that. My current wife hates it when I do that.
