Google Maps

Embed a Google map of the place you are writing about, or draw your own route with TravelFeed's maps.

Tip

For the route you actually travelled, use TravelFeed's own maps — press / and pick Map. They are built from what you have written, they are interactive, and they stay editable. A Google map is better for pinning one specific address.

Embedding a Google map

  1. Go to Google Maps and find the place you are writing about. For a route or a set of pins of your own, use Google MyMaps instead.
  2. Open Share → Embed a map and copy the HTML it gives you.
Finding the embed code in Google Maps: the Share menu, then the Embed a map tab
  1. In the editor, press /, pick HTML, and paste the code in. It is published exactly as you wrote it — see the HTML block.

Use Preview at the top right to check it before you publish.

A word of caution

An embedded Google map is one of the heavier things you can put on a page, and it loads before your reader gets to your writing. One per post, low down, is usually the right amount — a plain address and a link often serves the reader better.
