When to choose link vs embed
The best method depends on where your audience will see the map.
Link: fastest, great for email/newsletter, no site changes
Embed: best when the map is part of a landing page or directory experience
Both: keep one canonical map and reuse it everywhere

Frequently asked questions
Can I unpublish?
Yes—toggle Published off anytime.
Do changes update automatically?
Yes—once published, edits show up on the public link/embed.
Can I restrict embeds?
Business plan supports domain allowlisting.
Can I password-protect a map?
Not on public pages. For private sharing, use internal workflows or keep the map unpublished.
Is MapsMaker free?
Yes — there’s a free plan with 1 map and 10 markers. Paid plans start at $15/month with a 7-day free trial. No credit card required.
Do I need coding skills?
No. MapsMaker is a visual editor — you click, type, and drag. The only ‘code’ is a single line of embed code you copy and paste into your website.
