Q.Can I display a map on my website?

Yes. You have two main options for displaying a map. One is to use a web mapping service, such as Google Maps, and the other is to use a static map image.

Google Maps:

There are plenty of web mapping services, but Google Maps is by far the most popular. Google Maps allows visitors to zoom in and out, browse to other areas of the map, and get directions. Many modern websites use an embedded Google Maps map to give directions.

To embed a Google Maps URL into your website, follow the directions for Embed a map or directions in this Google Maps article. You can paste the Google Maps embed code into any HTML available icon, such as can be found on the front page or the Shop information page.

Static image:

IF your area isn't mapped out enough yet on Google Maps, or if you want your map to load as fast as possible, you may choose to use a static image instead of a web mapping service.

To use a map image, the easiest way is to upload it to Image Manager. Upload your file to Image Manager (see this article for more information on how to use Image Manager). As with Google Maps, the map can be added in any text entry box with the HTML available icon. Acquire the image URL from Image Manager, and then add it to the box in the following HTML code:

<img src="https://www.example.ocnk.com/example.jpg">

Replace https://www.example.ocnk.com/example.jpg with your map image URL.
