Location Map: map, directions and how to get there
The Location Map component: place your address on a map, choose its style, add transport options and the Directions and Call buttons.
The Location Map shows your address on a map of your neighbourhood, with the Directions and Call buttons and the list of ways to get there (underground, bus, car park, wheelchair access…). You will find it in the Business category of the palette.
Placing your address
- Place the block, then click Set the address, or double-click the block.
- Type the number, the street and the town, then click Locate.
- Choose the right address in the list: the map preview appears.
- Adjust the zoom with + and −, choose a style, then click Apply.
Styles and layouts
Five map styles: colour map, plain grey map, map in the site's colours (the hue follows your theme), night map and aerial view. Four layouts: the map to the left or to the right of the address, the map full width with the address laid over it, or the map above. On a mobile, the map always moves to the top.
No third-party services for your visitors
The map comes from IGN, the French national geographic information institute. It is saved in your media library and served with your site, like a photo: your visitors load nothing from Google or anywhere else. The directions buttons open Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze only when the visitor clicks them.
Your own image instead of the map
In the dialogue, choose Your image instead of IGN map to show a photo of your shopfront or your own map. It takes the place of the map, and clicking it still opens the directions. Locate your address all the same: the directions buttons will be more accurate for it.
Address outside France
The map covers France and its overseas territories. For an address elsewhere, the block displays your address, your contact details and the directions buttons, without a map. You can put your own image there too.
