Add Embedded Google Maps on Leads, Accounts, and Contacts
Here’s how we can get a very nice looking Google map tied to the current Lead, Account, or Contact that you are currently viewing.
First create a new Visualforce page (Setup > Develop > Page) for each of the types, here is the code for each:
Leads:
[html]
<apex:page standardController="Lead">
<apex:pageBlock >
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var myOptions = {
zoom: 20,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID,
mapTypeControl: true
}
var map;
var marker;
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var address = "{!Lead.Street}, " + "{!Lead.City}, " + "{!Lead.Postalcode}";
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: "<b>{!Lead.Name}</b>"
});
geocoder.geocode( { address: address}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK && results.length) {
if (status != google.maps.GeocoderStatus.ZERO_RESULTS) {
//create map
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), myOptions);
//center map
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
//create marker
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: results[0].geometry.location,
map: map,
title: "{!Lead.Name}"
});
//add listeners
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, ‘click’, function() {
infowindow.open(map,marker);
});
google.maps.event.addListener(infowindow, ‘closeclick’, function() {
map.setCenter(marker.getPosition());
});
}
} else {
$(‘#map’).css({‘height’ : ’15px’});
$(‘#map’).html("Oops! {!Lead.Name}’s address could not be found, please make sure the address is correct.");
resizeIframe();
}
});
function resizeIframe() {
var me = window.name;
if (me) {
var iframes = parent.document.getElementsByName(me);
if (iframes && iframes.length == 1) {
height = document.body.offsetHeight;
iframes[0].style.height = height + "px";
}
}
}
});

Then you’ll want to go to the page layout for each of the objects. Create a new section that’ll hold the map.
Then add the Visualforce page to that section. You can adjust the size of the map by changing the settings of the Visualforce page by using the wrench icon after it’s been dropped onto the layout.
