FAQ

Can I embed a Google My Maps with multiple pins?

Yes! Create your custom map at mymaps.google.com, then embed using the share/embed option.

Do embedded maps work offline?

No, Google Maps requires internet connection to load and interact.

Can I track interactions with embedded maps?

Standard embeds don't provide analytics. Use Notion Embed for tracking.

How do I update the map location?

Delete the embed and re-embed with the new location. Maps don't auto-update location.
