Enter an address, business, landmark, or coordinates inside the shortcode. Optional attributes control width, height, zoom, map type, language, and driving directions. The embed uses [native lazy loading](https://quickmaps.io/is-a-map-plugin-slowing-down-your-wordpress-site), so an off-screen map is deferred until the browser approaches it. ``` [quick-maps]Orlando, Florida[/quick-maps] [quick-maps type="satellite" zoom="16"]Grand Canyon[/quick-maps] [quick-maps from="Orlando, FL" to="Miami, FL"][/quick-maps] ``` #### Google Maps Shortcode for WordPress Each feature below links to a full how-to guide in the [Quick Maps documentation](https://quickmaps.io/docs). * **No API key for basic maps** – use the standard Google Maps embed without creating a Google Cloud project or enabling billing. [Full guide](https://quickmaps.io/google-maps-without-api-key). * **Add a map with one shortcode** – place an address, business name, landmark, or coordinates inside `[quick-maps]`. [Full guide](https://quickmaps.io/add-google-maps-to-wordpress). * **Responsive map output** – maps fill their container width by default, with configurable `width` and `height`. [Full guide](https://quickmaps.io/wordpress-google-map-satellite-terrain-zoom). * **Roadmap, satellite, hybrid, or terrain** – choose the map style with the `type` attribute. [Full guide](https://quickmaps.io/wordpress-google-map-satellite-terrain-zoom). * **Control zoom (0-21)** with the `zoom` attribute. [Full guide](https://quickmaps.io/wordpress-google-map-satellite-terrain-zoom). * **Show the map in any language** with the `lang` attribute. [Full guide](https://quickmaps.io/wordpress-google-map-language). * **Show driving directions** between two places with the `from` and `to` attributes. [Full guide](https://quickmaps.io/wordpress-google-map-directions). * **Native lazy loading** – off-screen map embeds are deferred using the browser’s native loading behavior. [Why it matters](https://quickmaps.io/is-a-map-plugin-slowing-down-your-wordpress-site). * **Use where shortcodes run** – add maps to posts, pages, widgets, and compatible page builders. #### Pro Features Quick Maps Pro (available at [quickmaps.io](https://quickmaps.io/pro)) adds: * [Color Schemes](https://quickmaps.io/pro#color-schemes): dark, muted, grayscale, and sepia presets. * [Custom Markers](https://quickmaps.io/pro#custom-markers): your own pins, brand colors, and marker images. * [Advanced Lazy Loading](https://quickmaps.io/pro#lazy-loading): click-to-load and scroll-to-load facades. * [Custom JS](https://quickmaps.io/pro#custom-css) and [Custom CSS](https://quickmaps.io/pro#custom-css): extend and fine-tune your maps. #### External Service: Google Maps Quick Maps embeds maps served by Google Maps. The plugin does not require a Google Maps API key for its basic embed, but the displayed map is still provided by Google. **When data is sent:** when a page containing a Quick Maps embed loads. Native lazy loading may defer the request until the map approaches the visible area. **What is sent:** the configured address, place, coordinates, route, and map settings, plus the visitor request information Google needs to serve the embed. According to Google’s documentation this may include IP address, browser or device information, referrer URL, and interaction data. Use of the embed is subject to the [Google Maps Additional Terms](https://maps.google.com/help/terms_maps/) and the [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). Site owners are responsible for their own privacy disclosure and consent configuration. #### Quick Maps Privacy [Read about our policy](https://quickmaps.io/privacy) ## Installatie 1.
