Google Map Block Settings (Global)

You can manage the API key and create locations in one handy place, so that locations are easily added to a page. Navigate to Foundry > Settings in the lefthand menu. There, you will find:

• A Google Maps API key field and a toggle to enable Google Maps
• “Add Location” button to create custom locations, which you can select for the page that displays your map
• Within the Location, you’ll need to configure the name of the location (usually a building name or city name), latitude, longitude, and thumbnail image or icon (what pins it on the map); a unique location ID is automatically generated by the block
• You will also find the Info Window, which contains fields that customize what appears when a person clicks the image or icon to open a pop-out window; there are fields in the Info Window for title (usually the building name or city), content (custom HTML that populates a WYSIWYG box), link text, link URL, link text style, and an ‘open in new tab’ toggle

Make sure to save your changes via the ‘Save Changes’ button when you’re done!
