IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please note that Google has, starting July 16, 2018, made certain API and billing changes. In order to enable billing, you will need to provide credit card or billing account to Google Maps platform. Please note that we are in no way associated with Google Maps and their payment system and for any questions and issues regarding payments and billing you will need to contact them. Please refer to their FAQ and their documentation to learn more about these changes.
Google maps require an API key for site domains. Follow the next steps:
- First step is to get location’s longitude and latitude. This article explains how – Find or enter latitude & longitude.
- When the location is added, please Get your API key.
- Then locate the Google Map element in Bold Builder and enter your API key.
On Snazzy Maps are available all kinds of Google Map styles. The required map code is added to the Custom map style array field.
*Since Bold Builder version 3.1.0, it is possible to use static Google image map, instead of interactive map.
To display static image map, first go to mapstyle.withgoogle.com. You have two options – Cloud-based Maps styling, and standard style. Select whichever you find suitable for your site.
Once you make changes, click on the ‘Finish’ button at the bottom of the page.

A pop up screen will appear with the URL that you need to copy. You need to copy the URL from ‘&style’ to ‘&size’.

Google’s new feature, Cloud-based maps styling, allows you to create and customize maps on your Google Cloud account, and add them to your site / app through custom ID.
To learn more about cloud-based map styling please refer to Google’s official documentation.
In order to enable this feature please follow the steps explained here.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please note that this feature might require some additional billing on your account. For more information, please refer to Google maps’ pricing.
Starting with Bold Builder version 4.8.9, you will be able to use cloud based maps styling and display your map by adding the generated ID to its designated field in Google Maps element.
*Please note that ‘Custom map style array’ field will still be available for use (for map code from Snazzy Maps) throughout 2025, when it will be deprecated.
