To create a map, you need a location (in either latitude and longitude or free text), a size (for the image), and a zoom. The maps can be styled in multiple ways and markers with labels can be added.Īs a basic requirement, you must supply a credential key in the URL, but keys can be locked to specific domains making them safe to use on the web.

While this is absolutely a powerful thing, it’s also possibly way overpowered for some uses, and obviously not something that could be used without JavaScript, for example in an HTML email. Routing and other features are baked in as well. You can pan a map, pinch and zoom, even draw on some implementations.
