Did a quick check but could not find this info.

Simple question.

With the current state of Elements (Feb 2025) can you put a google map on a page?

We don’t have a native component (yet), but it’s easy to paste in the Google Maps embed code using a Custom Component, like this…

[Here’s a link to open this project in Elements](elementsapp://downloadDocument/lfhrafQBW1z7).

Thank you so much! 🙂 Will give it a try.

Even as beta Elements is so much better than most gold programs!

I’m guessing this will be similar with [Apple Maps](https://developer.apple.com/maps/web/)? I’ve not tried either myself, but prefer not to have people’s activities tracked by Google.

Yes!

You can paste in any code snippet from any third party service in to Elements by using a custom component as shown in the video above 😊

Yeah, I was being a bit disingenuous there.

I couldn’t think of a reason it would be any different. More a subtle political statement that there are alternatives to the ubiquitous overlord’s services. 😇
