Add a Google Map

When the appropriate site option is enabled, you can embed a Google Map on your site to help people find a specific location (such as a TeamRaiser event), help people find multiple locations, or to provide directions to locations.

Each location will be identified on the map by a colored marker, along with a text area shaped like a balloon that identifies the location and contains a link to directions to the location.

You can customize the marker color, the map width and height, and the viewing zoom level.

Note: You can embed only one Google Map on a page. Do not insert a Google Map on a secure page to avoid potential security risks. For assistance with the Google Map site options, contact Support.

For information about adding a YouTube video, refer to Adding a YouTube Video.
