Maps

Add a map to your site to let users interactively explore the area around a location.

To add a map to the page:

1. Navigate to the page you want to edit and make sure that is set to Edit.
2. Add the component to the page. The Oracle map component shows a default location.
3. To change the location for the map and to adjust its display properties, click its menu icon and choose Settings.
4. Enter the starting Location for the map. You can use an address, zip code, or comma-separated latitude and longitude (for example, 40.5,-57.6)
   If you use an address, make sure you provide enough information to match a single location. If the address matches more than one location, the map remains blank.
5. Specify an initial Zoom level for the map. You can optionally allow the user to adjust the zoom level using a mouse, track pad, or on-screen controls.
6. Specify any style, alignment, and display options:
   • Zoom: Enable on-screen and device options to allow the user to adjust the zoom level of the map.
   • Pan: Enable on-screen and device options to allow the user to move the area of focus of the map.
   • Display Marker: Mark the starting location with a pin icon.
   • Scale: Include an indicator that shows the scale of the current zoom level.
   • Overview: Include an inset map that shows the current view in a larger context.
