Topic: How do you create a map link?

I would be grateful for the methodology of creating a link to an NBN map.
I used to have this kind of link on our DF Forum when we were using Gateway data:

Family: {b}Pseudopomyzidae{/b}
Genus: {i}Pseudopomyza{/i} Strobl, 1893
{url=http://www.dipteristsforum.org.uk/sgb_nbn_map.php?id=NBNSYS0000028916}Pseudopomyza atrimana (Meigen, 1830){/url}

Can anyone tell me how to do it now?

Hi Darwyn, could you use EasyMaps
https://easymap.nbnatlas.org/EasyMap?tv … p;retina=2
It's a bit slow to load mind.
It has a link to this view on the Atlas you could use instead if you want interactive maps:

Re: How do you create a map link?

Thanks Teresa, that's just the job.
We're just starting to build a new DF website via BRC's Drupal so there's lots of things us NSSs will have to get to grips with. that's one that the scheme organisers will find useful.
