After you sign up, they provide you with some handy sample code (attached). I put that into a wiki page but tikiwiki keeps wiping out the script elements.

Thanks John, thankfully the owners of the shop like the site as well. I can't think of a more graceful way to put this other than, read through my previous post again. The way I incorporated the map was to use the purely HTML components provided by Google on the map page. To make it work, look your location up and then click "Link to this page." The rest of the instructions in my post should get you there. There are no API calls or account Id's necessary so in a way it's more convenient than the packaged answer we haven't been able to install. TikiWiki strips javascript out of wiki pages as part of the processing. If you want to include javascript you'll have to put it into the template itself.
Take a look at the locater page on the tea site again and look at the source for the page "^U" it will give you an idea for the code I mean to use from Google.
As a final note, if your site drops you into WYSIWYG editing when you enable HTML you'll need to be in "Source" mode when you paste the HTML. the "Source" button is a toggle and should be found in the upper left corner when in WYSIWYG mode.
Let me know if you continue to have trouble and I'll post some sort of step by step instructions on my own site or something.
Steve
