1. At the bottom of the `<head>` section, after the references you added in the earlier steps, add a `<style>` tag and the following attributes to set the size of the map on your webpage. A Leaflet map will not display unless you include a width.

#map {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
}

2. At the top of the `<body>` section, add the `<div>`.
```html
<divid='map'></div>
```
3. Directly after the `<div>`, add this JavaScript code within a `<script>` tag to set the API key for the map. Use your own API key substituted for the placeholder text of `your-mapzen-api-key`.
```html
<divid='map'></div>

```js
<script>
L.Mapzen.apiKey = "your-mapzen-api-key"; // paste your actual API key here
</script>
```
3. Directly after the `<div>`, add this JavaScript code within a `<script>` tag to set the API key for the map.
The `your-mapzen-api-key` text is the Mapzen API key; paste your own API key inside the single quotes. You can get an API key by following the steps in the Mapzen [developer overview](https://mapzen.com/documentation/overview/).
```js
<script>
L.Mapzen.apiKey = "your-mapzen-api-key";
</script>
```
4. Inside the same `<script>` tag, and after the code you just added for the API key, initialize a map.
```html
<script>
L.Mapzen.apiKey = "your-mapzen-api-key";
```html
<script>
L.Mapzen.apiKey = "your-mapzen-api-key";
var map = L.Mapzen.map("map", {
center: [47.61033,-122.31801],
zoom: 16,
});
</script>

var map = L.Mapzen.map("map", {
center: [47.61033,-122.31801],
zoom: 16,
});
</script>
```
`L.xxxxx` is a convention used with the Leaflet API. The `center: [47.61033,-122.31801]` parameter sets the center point of the map, in decimal degrees, at the location of a building at Seattle University.

The next line sets the `zoom` level, which is like a map scale or resolution, where a smaller value shows a larger area in less detail, and a larger zoom level value depicts smaller area in great detail.
