Google Maps Location

    Hi,
    I have a small problem and I can’t seem to figure out.

    I can’t figure out where to change my map location.

    What I mean is, I lived in Ireland and moved to Spain last year. I am setting up a website to Target the Spanish market but when I open up the page that has Google maps on it it shows Dublin, Ireland as default.

    How do I change it to show up a Spanish map as default?

    I know it has to be so easy but I can’t figure out where to change it.

    I think it’s related to the API key somewhere.

    TIA
    Paulie

  • Hi Paul

    Thanks for getting in touch!

    The map will stay centered on the last location you saved it on. If you navigate to Maps -> Edit and click the map, then move the viewport over to spain and click “Save Map” it should always open on Spain.

    Does that work for you?

    Kind regards

    Hi Perry, thanks for the info. I’m using a theme I bought, I don’t have Google maps on my dashboard, I only have a place to paste the Google maps API key in the theme options, that’s why I thought that the API key is somehow related to why the location shows up as Dublin as my Google account was set up there.

    Thanks again
    Paul

    Hi Paul

    You are through to the support forum for the plugin WP Google Maps – I’m afraid as we don’t know how your theme integrates Google Maps we wouldn’t be able to help you with this issue. Sorry I can’t be more forthcoming there.

    If I may, why not install a plugin to render your map? We offer a free, feature full and easy to use map plugin, with prompt and friendly support ??

    You can center the map on any location you like and click “Save Map”, it will always appear centered on the location you left it on regardless of the API key or your location.

    If you’d like to try it out and have any further questions, please by all means!

    Is there anything else I can help you with?

    Kind regards
    – Perry
