How to integrate Google Maps with Webflow

Connect Google Maps to your Webflow site using several methods, from simple embeds to advanced API integrations. Choose based on your technical skills and feature requirements.

Use the Dynamic Map App

The Dynamic Map app by No Code Flow provides the most comprehensive Google Maps integration for Webflow, connecting directly to your CMS without code. Install from the Webflow Marketplace.

What you can do:

• Connect maps to CMS collections for automatic updates

• Add custom markers and pins with unique icons per location

• Enable search and filtering by location, category, or custom fields

• Style maps to match your brand using Google Maps themes

• Display info windows with rich content on marker click

The app handles all API connections and provides a visual interface within Webflow's Designer, making it ideal for directories, store locators, and multi-location businesses.

Native features, direct embeds and widgets

Use Webflow's built-in tools and Google's embed features for simple map implementations without external apps.

Webflow Map element:

• Add the Map element from the Components panel

• Enter your location address

• Add your Google Maps API key in site settings

• Style the map container with Webflow's visual tools

Google Maps iframe embed:

• Visit Google Maps and search your location

• Click Share > Embed a map

• Copy the iframe code

• Add an Embed element in Webflow and paste the code

This method requires no API key for single static locations but offers limited customization. For dynamic locations from your CMS, modify the embed code to include collection fields.

Build with Webflow and Google Maps APIs

For complete control over map functionality, implement Google Maps directly using their JavaScript API. This enables advanced features like real-time updates, custom overlays, and complex interactions.

Why choose API integration:

Greater control over map behavior, ability to integrate multiple data sources, and access to advanced features like route planning, geocoding, and place details. Essential for apps requiring real-time location updates, complex filtering, or integration with external systems. See the Maps JavaScript API documentation.

Set up the Maps JavaScript API

Create and configure your map:

• Add a div element with an ID to your Webflow page

• Include the Maps JavaScript API script in your site's custom code

• Initialize the map with your configuration options

• Add your API key from the Google Cloud Console

Core capabilities:

• Initialize custom maps with new google.maps.Map()

• Add interactive markers using new google.maps.Marker()

• Create info windows with new google.maps.InfoWindow()

• Style map appearance using custom JSON themes

• Handle user interactions with event listeners

The JavaScript API provides granular control over every aspect of your map, from visual styling to user interactions.

Implement location services

Connect location data from your CMS:

• Store addresses or coordinates in Webflow CMS collections

• Use the Geocoding API to convert addresses to coordinates

• Loop through collection items to create map markers dynamically

• Update locations automatically when CMS data changes

Advanced location features:

• Search nearby places with the Places API

• Calculate directions using the Directions API

• Show Street View imagery with the Street View API

These APIs work together to create rich location experiences, from finding nearby businesses to providing turn-by-turn directions.

What you can build

Integrating Google Maps with Webflow enables powerful location-based features for your website.

• Store locators: Create searchable directories of retail locations with real-time hours, contact info, and directions for each store

• Real estate portfolios: Display property listings on interactive maps with filters for price, size, and amenities

• Event venue maps: Show event locations with parking areas, entry points, and nearby transportation options

• Service area visualizations: Display delivery zones or service coverage areas with custom boundaries and availability indicators
