Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an API key to use Google Maps embeds?
For basic embeds, you don't need an API key. However, for advanced features or high-volume usage, Google recommends using an API key. You can get one from the Google Cloud Platform Console.
What's the difference between the map types?
Place shows a map with a marker at a specific location. View shows a simple map view. Directions shows a route between locations. Street View shows the street-level panorama. Search shows results for a search query.
How do I make my map responsive?
Enable the 'Responsive' option in our generator. This will add CSS that makes the map resize proportionally on different screen sizes while maintaining its aspect ratio.
Can I customize the marker on the map?
Basic embeds don't allow custom markers. For advanced marker customization, you'll need to use the Google Maps JavaScript API instead of an embed.
What's the best map size to use?
It depends on your website layout. For full-width maps, use responsive mode and set a reasonable height (400-500px). For sidebar maps, a width of 300-400px works well. Always test on mobile devices to ensure good user experience.
Can I generate an embed from an existing Google Maps URL?
Yes! Simply copy a Google Maps URL (from maps.google.com) and paste it into the URL input field at the top of the configuration section. The tool will automatically extract the location, map type, and other parameters.
Can I use the embed code provided by Google Maps?
Yes! If you've already generated an embed code from Google Maps, you can paste it directly into the URL field and our tool will extract the necessary information. This is useful if you want to customize an existing embed or make it responsive.
