How to embed Google Maps location

You can embed Google Maps locations in two ways:


  1. Copy URL from the location.
  2. Copy the embed HTML code from Google Maps.


To embed Google Maps locations via URL:

  • Go to your Linkie dashboard.
  • Press on Click to add link, post, embed, etc.



  • Choose Add an embed from the cards.



  • Click on Paste URL.



  • To find the URL of the location, you can go to Google Maps and click on Share.
  • From there choose Send a Link.
  • Click on Copy link, then paste it into your browser to get the full post URL. Make sure you copy the full link, since shortened links won’t work because they don’t include the full location.



  • After pasting the URL from Google Maps, click on Add embed.



  • A custom feature is the "Get directions" button, which takes users directly to the location on Google Maps when clicked.
  • You can always edit **on the top right corner or **remove the embedded post from your Linkie by clicking the bin icon.



  • Preview it by clicking Preview on the top right corner.



To embed Google Maps locations via HTML code:


  • Go to your Linkie dashboard.
  • Press on Click to add link, post, embed, etc.


  • Choose Add an embed from the cards.



  • Click on HTML Code.



  • Go to the Google Maps location you want to embed and click on Share.
  • From there choose Embed a map and click on Copy HTML.



  • Go back to Linkie and paste the embedded code.


When embedding with HTML, avoid using event attributes like "onclick", because they rely on JavaScript, which many platforms block for security reasons.

Keep in mind:


  • Embed cards are full width by default and cannot be resized, only the height can be adjusted.
  • When embedding with HTML, avoid using event attributes like "onclick", because they rely on JavaScript, which many platforms block for security reasons.
  • You can include custom HTML elements like headings. For example: <h1>Hello world</h1>
