Requirements

The "Dynamic Maps" plugin is required and is using for managing maps and data.

Display maps

A map appears on the page in two steps:

  1. Create a map under Backend Menu -> Dynamic Maps -> Maps. There are the basic map configurations and the possibility to choose markers and data sources.
  2. Add the component to the page where the map should appear.

Configure component

Need to select one of the created maps in the component "Map" field. Optionally, can specify "Latitude", "Longitude" and "Zoom Level". Otherwise, appropriate values from the selected map will be used. Can specify the map size with the "Width" and "Height" fields (in px, em, or %).

Settings

The plugin settings are here: Backend Menu -> Settings -> Section "City" -> Google Maps.
