Embed a map in Notion
Notion works best with share links. Publish your map, copy the public link, and paste it into a Notion Embed block.

How it works
1
Publish your map
Toggle Published on in MapsMaker.
2
Copy the public link
Share → Public link.
3
Paste into Notion
Paste the link; Notion will embed it.
Notion is link-first (and that's good)
Notion works best with links rather than raw iframe code. When you paste a public map URL, Notion automatically creates an embed card that looks clean and loads reliably inside any page or database.
Publish your map and use the public link (Notion embeds URLs nicely)
Great for travel plans, internal wikis, event guides, and client handoffs
If you need to control which websites can load your map, use a website embed instead. On the Business plan you can restrict embed display to specific domains you approve
A good Notion workflow
Notion pages shine when the embedded map feels like a curated guide rather than a raw data dump. Adding tags and photos to your map turns it into something people actually want to browse.
Use tags for the things people actually filter (coffee, hikes, food)
Add photos so the list view feels like a guide, not a spreadsheet
What to expect in Notion
Notion's embed behavior can vary depending on workspace settings and how the link is pasted. Knowing what to expect ahead of time helps you pick the right sharing approach.
Some Notion setups show a compact embed card; others expand to a full frame
If Notion blocks the embed, fall back to the public link (same experience, fewer issues)
