Widget Categories: Business
Show your visitors a map of any location you like. Use the Map widget to show the location of your brick-and-mortar business or a special event. You can also use it to show customers where they will find parking.
Mapbox is the default map provider for the Map widget. However, you can make Google Maps the default map provider for all new and existing sites in your account. In addition to the Map widget, Google Maps will become the default in all location search and maps for the Content Library and other applicable widgets.
All location data from Mapbox is saved and applied to Google Maps. This ensures you do not need to set up locations again.
Note that this feature can only be enabled by staff members with pro settings permission.
To set Google Maps as your default map provider:
-
In your Google Maps account, generate an API key. To learn how to generate an API key, see Google’s documentation. We recommend you review Google's Usage and Billing policy.
-
(Optional) If you set up your Google account so that the API key can only be used on specific websites, you need to add duda.co, your site domain, and if applicable, any white label domains to the list of allowed websites in your Google Account. It is important to use the following format for your domains:
*.duda.co/* -
From your Dashboard, click your avatar in the upper right corner and select Account.
-
On the Account Settings page, scroll down to the Google Map Integration section and click Set Up.
-
Paste your API key in the field, then click Apply to All Sites. This makes Google Maps the default map for all existing and new sites in your account.
At any time, you can disable Google Maps and switch back to Mapbox. All location data from Google Maps will be saved and automatically applied to Mapbox when you switch.
