Common Cases and FAQs

1. How do I ensure my map displays the correct location?

When entering your Google Maps address, be as specific as possible with the full address (e.g., “Brooklyn, NY, USA”). The map will automatically load and center on this location.

2. Can I use a custom image instead of Google Maps?

You can override the default Google map by uploading a custom map image. This is useful when you want to:

• Display a stylized map of your location
• Show multiple locations in a custom design
• Highlight specific areas or service regions

3. How can I make my map responsive on mobile devices?

The Map section automatically adjusts for mobile viewing through:

• Dedicated mobile layout settings

4. What aspect ratios work best for maps?

The Map section offers two preset ratios:

• 4:3 – Traditional display format, good for detailed area views
• 16:9 – Widescreen format, better for showing broader areas or multiple locations
