Map builder
Insert a simple map
In this article we will see how to add maps to your itineraries of the most varied types, such as the city, the route to be taken, the flight or cruise route, etc.
To do this, we have made an integration with Google Maps, as its map builder offers many customisation possibilities: colours, background display, icons, route format. All you have to do is create it and copy the URL into the map block.
In this video summary we tell you how you can create the map from Google Maps.
1. Map builder
This functionality can be used to great advantage, so we recommend that you follow our tips to be able to customise even the colour of your maps. Let's take it step by step:
Step 1: Open Google Maps
Inside Google Maps click on the menu (three lines) in the top left corner of the screen:
Click on ‘Your sites’:
Click on ‘Create map’:
And finally, a new tab opens. This is where we start to build our map from scratch:
We can give the map a title and customise the background colour:
Step 2: Add the points
This step consists of adding the points of our itinerary to the map. To do this, you have to enter the city/restaurant/hotel or any other place you want to appear in the search engine:
In this way a point is added to which we can give a name and also personalise it with colours or icons:
Or even show the order of stops:
Step 3: Join the points on the map
Once we have all the points on the map, there is the option to join them:
And as with the points, this polygon can also be customised:
Step 4: We share
In order to insert it in our proposal, click on ‘get a preview’ and copy the url.
The last step is to paste the URL into MOGU:
2. Insert simple map
If, on the other hand, you prefer not to create a map from scratch, and you simply want to insert a Google Maps url... we also show you how to do it. You only have to go to Google Maps and select the point or route you want to show.
A specific point (destination city, airport, location of a museum you are going to visit, location of a restaurant, etc.).
A route (e.g. flight from one airport to another, a bus trip between several cities, etc.)
Be careful! Because the zoom you have on the map when you copy the URL, is the one that will appear later in your proposal.
