To implement any of the features available in the Dreamweaver Tools for Google, all you have to do is step through the WebAssist wizard that accompanies each component.

Best of all, Dreamweaver Tools for Google is absolutely free.

Maps

The map wizard allows you to add a Google Map to your web page, allowing you to configure and specify several address locations for display in a given area, and customise the size, zoom, inset, and scale attributes for the map generated.

Maps cannot be previewed within Design View, so a placeholder image is used to represent how the map will be sized and placed within the page.

The countries currently supported for mapping using this extension are the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand.

Checkout

This wizard allows you to add a Google Buy Now Button to your web page, allowing customers to quickly complete a payment transaction for a given item using Google™ Checkout. In three steps, the wizard allows you to specify your Google Checkout account, select the button type, and configure the price.

Search

The Search wizard allows you to add a Google Search form to your web page, allowing you to configure the search options available, how the results page will display your logo, and the colors used for the various types of text and links displayed in the results.
