How do you add a Google map to your website?

Go to Google Maps and type your street address in and press . Ensure that the map shows the right address! On the top right hand side of the map, you’ll see three links: Print / Send of Link. Click on Link.

Click on Paste HTML to embed in website. Then you’ll see some html code that you need to copy and paste into your website page.

If you’d like to change the size of the map, or adjust other details, then click on Customize and preview embedded map, and follow the instructions on the screen. At the bottom of that page, you’ll see a block that has the altered html code for you to copy.

• Press <Ctrl+A> to select all and then <Ctrl+C> to copy it to the clipboard.
• Go to the page/post where you’d like to insert the map.
• Now here comes the advanced bit … click on the HTML button on the top right
• The press <Ctrl+V> to paste the html code into the page.
• Then click on Wysiwyg and make changes to the rest of the page.
• Click on Save Draft and then on Preview.
• When you’re happy with the page, click on Publish.

Tip: it might be easier to copy and past the html code first before making changes to the rest of the page, otherwise you need to find the spot within the html code view, which can look rather daunting. Using wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) is easier than editing in html view.
