Map Block

What is the Map block?

The Map block embeds a Google Map at a custom location. Supply EITHER latitude + longitude (for any arbitrary spot — a building entrance, a meeting point) OR a Google placeId (which always shows the standard branded business pin and info card).

Key choices: mapType (roadmap or satellite), zoom (1–20 — default 15 for street level), and height (sm 300px / md 450px / lg 600px / xl 800px).

All examples below use the same coordinates (Trafalgar Square, London). Hover over any example for the "How to set this up" button.

Roadmap, default zoom (15)

Standard street-level view.

Satellite view

Same coordinates, aerial imagery.

Wider zoom (10)

Pulled back to city level.

Tall (height "xl" — 800px)
