Embed Virtual Earth Map in CRM 3.0

I have to admit it, I love to have rock star moments - and with this relatively simple embedding of Virtual Earth Maps into CRM - I got the greatest reaction from my latest CRM customer. It was so good, I decided to share it so in just 6 simple steps you can too! :)

1. Create a htm file & include the code you can find here in it. (right click to view source when page loads) Or here

2. Create a Folder in your CRMWeb directory on the Server and save this file in it

3. Add a new Tab to your Accounts Form

4. Add a section, and into that add an IFrame

5. Point the Iframe to the htm file you created in step 1 (making sure to untick the restrict cross frame scripting tick box)

6. Publish your changes to the account Form

Wait for the applause! :)
