Default Google Map in an Access Form

I've got an Access form with an Activex webBrowser that displays a
google map based on lattidude and longitude coordinates pulled from
the form (if anyone would like the code please let me know and I'll
post it).

My problem is, I'd like to display the map in a small webBrowser
window (due to space constraints on the form).

Can anyone help with formatting the browser window so that the it
centered on the map?

OR

The browser doesn't have active horizontal or vertical scroll bars (I
don't know why). How do I insert scroll bars and set them to center
on the map portion of the page as a default?

I've searched the group and can't find what I'm looking for and I'm
not all that familiar with Access.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jason

Default Google Map in an Access Form

What I'd done in the past was build the google maps url string
(address+city+prov/state+PC/zip...) and then simply used the
application.followhyperlink method to open a browser to display the
website/map. The url must be complete (http://....)

Hope this helps,
