1. Name your project 
1. Select HTTP referrers (web sites) for the Key restriction type 
1. Enter the domains where your API key will be used 
 – Example: <code>*.mysite.com</code> 
1. Click the Create button 
1. Write your API key down in a safe place 
1. Enter the API key into the plugin settings

Note: The API key will be exposed publicly to generate the map. It is important to <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/get-api-key#key-restrictions" rel="nofollow ugc">restrict your API key</a> so others do not abuse it. The API key will be used, and displayed, in both the WordPress editor and the front end of the site.
<h3>Use</h3>
Once you have saved an API key into the plugin settings simply enter a location, such as New York, NY, or a full address. You may also choose the map width, height, zoom level and toggle between an interactive map or a static image in the block settings, which are visible in the right-hand sidebar when the block is selected.

Adds a map block to the WordPress editor, which can be used to display the location of your business, favorite restaurant, or the spot where you saw Debra Messing in person!
The map block uses Mapbox GL, so maps display brilliantly on your site. After installing the plugin, you’ll need to connect a Mapbox account. For most sites, Mapbox’s free tier will be plenty, but be aware that there is a limit. You can monitor your usage in the Mapbox dashboard.
