Map Block for Google Maps

Description

Are you using Gutenberg and need a map? This is the map block for you! Install, active, add to content. Done! No nonsense, no unneeded settings. Simple and clear in its function – as any Gutenberg block should be.

Gutenberg is now a core feature so please update to WordPress v5, or install the Gutenberg plugin.

Plugin Features

Works as any other Gutenberg block with the following settings:
* address, or coordinates
* zoom
* map height
* API key – once saved in one block it’s used in all others

works like a charm, install, get your API from google and you are ready to go! adding a map is supereasy: add a map block enter the address thats it! optionally you can use those super-neat sliders to change zoom or height, also integrates well in my responsive theme, looks great on all devices. thanks alot for this slick plugin!

It is a small plugin that solves very well the need to be able to add a location map. The support team is very fast in solving problems or doubts. I recommend the use of this plugin.
