Embedding Google Maps is incredibly simple. You go into the edit mode of the page that you want to add the map to. In the box where you add the text, you add the following shortcode:

google_map} address {/google_map (The opening and closing curly parenthesis have been omitted to prevent the map from embedding and forcing the code to show)

To make customize your map you need to override the default settings which can be done by adding the attributes to your shortcode. A full list of attributes can be found here. You can also go to Settings > Embed Google Maps and then make the required changes. But keep in mind these are the default settings and will be applied to all the maps. Therefore it is advisable to use shortcode customizations according to the need of each map widget.

Here’s a test map:

Code:

google_map}2900 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11210|verision:new|zoom:15|width:800|height:800|border:2|border_style:solid|border_color:#ea782c{/google_map

(The opening and closing curly parenthesis have been omitted to prevent the map from embedding and forcing the code to show)
