Google Maps zoom control is messed up

Question

I use the Google Maps API (v.3) to show a map with a couple of markers. I recently noticed that the control used to zoom the map is messed up (it wasn\'t always like this).

Answer 1

I tried all the above solutions, and others from other forums to no avail. it was really annoying because I have another non-Wordpress site where the code worked perfectly. (I was trying to display a Google map in a Wordpress page, but the zoom and Streetview controls were distorted).

The solution I did was to create a new html file (copy paste all the code into Notepad and name it xyz.html, save as type "all files"). Then upload/ftp it up to website, and setup a new Wordpress page and use an embed function. When editing the page go to the text editor (not the visual editor) and copy/type:

http://page URL width="900" height="950">

If you change the dimensions, remember to change it in both arguments above, or you get weird results.

There we go - might not be as clever as some other answers, but it worked for me! Evidence here: http://a-bc.co.uk/latitude-longitude-finder/
