<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {

window.map = new MQA.TileMap( /*constructs an instance of MQA.TileMap*/
document.getElementById('map'), /*ID of element on the page where you want the map added*/
3, /*intial zoom level of the map*/
{lat:12.976418, lng:77.6158}, /*center of map in latitude/longitude */

// for zooming control
MQA.withModule('carouselcontrol','shapes','georssdeserializer','remotecollection','smallzoom', function() {
