Example
This example demonstrates how you can easily set up an interactable google map inside your ad, using the keyword search feature.
As with all examples, you can request us to copy them over to your company so you can look at how they are built in detail.
Source
You can choose between two different kinds of source for the results on the map.
Keyword - Use this setting + a keyword you enter below that will be searched on google maps, with the results being marked for the user.
CSV - Use this setting to upload a csv file. Below it, you can choose the location mechanism + select which fields of the .csv contain the data needed for the locations.
Theme
You can select one of many themes with this dropdown. This will change the look and feel of the map and will be previewed inside the editor.
Map type control
Toggles the visibility of the map type controls on the map (Sattelite/Map view).
Fullscreen
Toggles the visibility of the fullscreen option for the user.
Street view
Toggles the visibility of the street view icon, that can be dropped inside the map to see the street view.
Custom center position
Allows you to set up a custom center position that the map will start on. When this option is activated, you'll be able to enter custom lat/lon coordinates below.
Custom texts
These two fields allow you to set up a custom text for the overlay (Displays before the map is activated - e.x. "Click to activate map") and for the search-in-area label that appears when the user scrolls to an area where there are no results shown due to search range (for keyword based searches).
Results limit
Some keyword searches return too many results, which may cause the map to look cluttered. In that case, you can limit the results to 1-50 results.
Initial zoom
With this slider, you can adjust the initial zoom level of the map - The text below will tell you how wide the selected view is approximately.
Pin settings
For the pins - you can upload a custom asset for the pins that represent locations and for the one that is currently selected by the user (active). Also, you can change the color of the pin that represents the user location ("Pin color").
