Find Map and Layer ID in Google Maps Engine

Question

I want to add a map from Maps Engine to a page but I can't figure out how to get the Map ID or Layer ID required for the MapsEngineLayer.

It seems like they forgot to add this to the new interface.

The documentation seems to give directions that do not apply for the new interface.

This was also confusing for me, there is

The linked documentation is related to Maps Engine.

Maps created via Maps Engine Lite/Pro may only be embedded or shared via link.

You have got to be kidding me! That is terrible design – Stephen Nov 16 '13 at 02:32
yeah! What the heck is going on here?? Especially since Maps Engine appears to be much harder to use. – light24bulbs Nov 03 '14 at 20:19

If you're talking about Google Maps Engine, you can find the MAP ID, LAYER ID when you are on a layer (or map) using the Google Maps Engine console Admin => top left : Access link. Click on it, and next you'll have the asset id.

Here is the "menu"

Hope this help you. Sebastien

Wow why do they add a button with no caption that opens up a popup that gives only 1 data when they could have only put the data directly in the page? Silly Google designers... – Raphael Royer-Rivard Jan 08 '15 at 18:51
