Embedding Maps with MapperKeeper

A primary goal of MapperKeeper is to make it easier for you to share your maps. In the previous tutorial, I showed you how to create your first map and share it on social media. If you already have your own website or blog, why not add your MapperKeeper map directy on your site? Today, let’s talk about embedding maps!

Create or Edit Existing Map

If you haven’t created any maps, you will need to create one. You can follow along with our previous tutorial, building your first map with MapperKeeper. Once your map is ready, you can select the edit option from your map dashboard.

Edit map option

Select Share

From your map editor page click the share option on the bottom right.

Share Options

Copy Embed Snippet

The embed snippet contains the code you will need to embed the map on your own website. Copy the iframe snippet to your clipboard and paste it directly in your site’s html code.

Embed

The snippet should look like this:

<iframe 
  src='https://www.mapperkeeper.com/maps/df36ae21-3bb6-4909-8b51-87d00f1c4146?mode=embed' 
  height='600px' width='100%'></iframe>

Feel free to adjust the height and width to best fit your own website. In the above example, we are setting the width to 100% of the parent container, and a height of 600 pixels.

Show Off

Now your beautiful map is proudly displayed on your site. Feel free to lean back, throw your feet up, and admire how awesome your shiny map looks! The best thing is, any changes made to the original map will automatically show up on your site.

Take a look at our example below.
