Hi @ag3nt7 , here is the instructions for making a custom google map, using Snazzy maps styling, with an info window and custom map marker:
Step 1:
Create a section on your page and give it a unique id of “map” (without the quotes)
Give the new map section a height of 500px
Step 2:
Copy the following code to the HEAD of the Site Settings, this code will fix the google controls so they work on sites which are responsive and the controls won’t get all squished on the page.
<style>
#map img {
max-width: none;
}
</style>
Step 3:
Copy the following into the Before Body section of the Custom Code settings page. In the script link to Google maps,
replace the your_google_map_api_key value with your own API Key.
// The following line initializes Google Maps using your own Google Maps API key
// The google api script is required
// You need to include this script on any page that has a Google Map.
// When using Google Maps on your own site you MUST signup for your own API key at:
// Overview | Maps JavaScript API | Google Developers
// After your sign up replace the key in the URL below or paste in the new script tag that Google provides.
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=your_google_map_api_key&sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Create and Initialise the Map (required) our google map below
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', init);
function init() {
// Basic options for a simple Google Map
// For more options see: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#MapOptions
var mapOptions = {
// How zoomed in you want the map to start at (always required)
zoom: 17,
scrollwheel: false,
// The latitude and longitude to center the map (always required)
center: new google.maps.LatLng(45.088530, -64.367951), // Nova Scotia
// How you would like to style the map.
// This is where you would paste any style found on [Snazzy Maps][1].
// copy the Styles from Snazzy maps, and paste that style info after the word "styles:"
styles: [{stylers:[{hue:'#2c3e50'},{saturation:250}]},{featureType:'road',elementType:'geometry',stylers:[{lightness:50},{visibility:'simplified'}]},{featureType:'road',elementType:'labels',stylers:[{visibility:'off'}]}]
};
var mapElement = document.getElementById('map');
// Create the Google Map using out element and options defined above
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapElement, mapOptions);
// Following section, you can create your info window content using html markup
var contentString = '<div id="content">'+
'<div id="siteNotice">'+
'</div>'+
'<h1 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading">Uluru</h1>'+
'<div id="bodyContent">'+
'<p><b>Uluru</b>, also referred to as <b>Ayers Rock</b>, is a large ' +

// Define the image to use for the map marker (58 x 44 px)
var image = 'http://uploads.webflow.com/537f700d5bb0a27f34444d0c/53b054015eb95f024f4d7c5e_map_marker.png';
// Define the Lattitude and Longitude for the map location
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(45.088530, -64.367951);
// Define the map marker characteristics
var mapMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng,
map: map,
icon: image,
title: 'Frostbyte Interactive'
});
// Following Lines are needed if you use the Info Window to display content when map marker is clicked
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: contentString
});
// Following line turns the marker, into a clickable button and when clicked, opens the info window
google.maps.event.addListener(mapMarker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map, mapMarker);
});
}
