1. Share publicly or with teammates:
When sharing a map, you can select which individuals to give access to and take advantage of password protection to keep your data secure. You also have the option of posting your shared map publicly for anyone to see. If you make your map interactive, it gives your recipients the opportunity to make changes to the map.

2. Embed on a website:
By placing a code on your site, Maptive makes it easy for you to embed customized Google Maps. Your map won’t be a static screenshot, but rather an interactive tool on your website. Create a store locator map or display where your products can be purchased.

Benefits of Sharing and Embedding Maps

When sharing or embedding a map you have a wide range of display options: you can toggle which features you want available in your shared or embedded interactive map. For example, you can filter by salesperson so each person on your sales team can see only their own data. Another option is to enable the radius tool so customers can see how many of your stores are within a 10-mile radius.
From the shared/embedded map dropdown, you can hide the map title, search box, distance calculator, show my location, and map image export buttons.
Some features you can enable on shared/embedded maps include the following:
- Display a search box.
- Show the distance calculator.
- Share location.
- Include map export buttons.
- Replace the grouping tool with a legend.
- Enable key features like the filter or grouping tools.
- Give users zoom control.
You can also allow your team members to see and edit the map in the same way the owner can, with the exception of deleting the map or sharing it with other team members. The map owner has the ability to revoke access at their discretion.
