Great question! Although Google Maps doesn’t make this obvious, it’s actually really simple. You just have to create a map (under Places > Maps), save it, and then add any locations you want to that custom map. Just grab an embed link from that, and you’re all set. Where it may get a little complicated is that in order to share you’ll necessarily be using a Google Account, and the account name will be displayed above the map name you choose. So it might be good to use a non-personal account for this purpose. Thanks for bringing this up! :)

Yes! This method I know, but my map is depending on the data from airtable. I.e. Every record has different pin points, so I cant have a static map for each. My idea was to generate a link in airtable and then use it as an embed URL in StackerHQ

Hmm. I don’t think there’s a way to have Google use a bunch of Airtable records to generate a map…and I’m not sure I’d be comfortable with that myself, giving Google even more data (especially associated with others)… It’s an interesting idea though! 🤔

That data is not about people location, but about an action location place (vehicle tracking), so its not so sensitive in this case

would be possible to use google maps api v3 in stacker? Including Javascript?
r
I don’t believe so, but if you’ll write into support@stackerhq.com we can discuss this in more detail and see if there’s something that might help your use case, if not now then perhaps in the future. 🙂

Thanks, will do!

Have you looked into using nocodemapapp and embedding a URL from there?
r
That’s new to me. Very cool!

@loud-magazine-63930 I will take a look! I have a feeling that this wouldn’t work as the data for map pinpoints would be provided ‘on the spot’, not in advance, but I will check!
