One map with every branch lets visitors find the nearest location without searching for each address. The free Google Map block in Nexter Blocks puts as many pins as you need on a single map. *For every Google Map setting in one place, see the [Google Map block guide](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-google-map-in-wordpress/).* [LIVE BLOCK LINK](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/blocks/wordpress-google-maps/) ## Before You Start - **Edition:** Free — works in Nexter Blocks (free) and with Nexter Blocks Pro.- **Block to enable:** Google Map, switched on under **Nexter > Blocks** in your WordPress dashboard.- **A Google Maps API key** saved under Nexter > Extra Options > Settings. See [how to generate a Google Maps API key](https://nexterwp.com/docs/generate-google-maps-api-key/). ## Steps - Add the **Google Map** block to your page and open **Content** on the **Layout** tab. - Open the first item under **Pins**. Set **Set Pin By** to **Latitude** and enter **Latitude Value** and **Longitude Value**, or pick **Address** and fill in **Location**. ![Two pins in the Pins list of the Google Map block](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/google-map-layout-pins-two.webp) - Type the branch name or address in **Tooltip Content**. - Click **Add Pin** and repeat for every location. - Lower **Map Zoom** until all pins fit in the map, then save. ## How It Behaves - Every pin shows on the same map, and each opens its own tooltip when clicked.- Pins set by Latitude and pins set by Address can be mixed on one map.- The map opens at the first pin with the **Map Zoom** you set. It does not zoom out automatically to show every pin.- Each pin can have its own marker image in **Tooltip Icon**. See [how to add custom markers](https://nexterwp.com/docs/how-to-add-custom-markers-in-google-maps-in-wordpress/). ![A Google Map with several location pins across a city](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/google-map-multi-location-preview-1.png) ## Limitations - There is no automatic fit-to-pins zoom. Pins far apart need a low **Map Zoom** such as 4 to 6.- **Map Zoom** uses whole numbers. Decimals are rounded down. ## Troubleshooting ### Some pins are off screen Lower **Map Zoom**, or drag the map on the live page to check the pins are placed correctly. ### An address pin lands in the wrong place Use a full address with city and country, or switch that pin to **Latitude** and enter exact coordinates. ## Related Docs - [Google Map block: all settings](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-google-map-in-wordpress/)- [Add custom markers to Google Maps](https://nexterwp.com/docs/how-to-add-custom-markers-in-google-maps-in-wordpress/)- [Add a text overlay on Google Maps](https://nexterwp.com/docs/text-overlay-google-maps/)- [Generate a Google Maps API key](https://nexterwp.com/docs/generate-google-maps-api-key/) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What do I need before adding multiple locations on Google Maps in WordPress?** A: Nexter Blocks free includes the Google Map block, but it only works once the block is switched on under Nexter > Blocks and a Google Maps API key is saved under Nexter > Extra Options > Settings. That setup matters because the map block depends on the API key before any pins can render. The page also notes this is available in Edition: Free and works in Nexter Blocks Pro. **Q: How do I add several branch locations to one Google Map?** A: The Google Map block in Nexter Blocks lets you put as many pins as you need on a single map. Each pin can be added as either Latitude and Longitude or as an Address, then given its own Tooltip Content. That means one map can cover every branch instead of forcing visitors to search location by location. **Q: Can I mix address pins and latitude pins on the same map?** A: Nexter Blocks supports mixing both pin types on one map. One location can use Latitude and Longitude for exact placement, while another can use Address and Location. That flexibility helps when some branches have precise coordinates and others are easier to enter as a full address. **Q: Why does my Google Map not show all pins at once?** A: The map opens at the first pin using the Map Zoom you set, and it does not zoom out automatically to fit every pin. For locations that are far apart, the page recommends lowering Map Zoom, with values around 4 to 6 for wider coverage. Map Zoom uses whole numbers, so decimals get rounded down. **Q: What should I do if some map pins are off screen?** A: Lowering Map Zoom is the first fix because distant branches need a wider view to stay visible together. If the pins still look wrong, drag the map on the live page to confirm they were placed correctly. That helps separate a zoom problem from a bad pin placement problem. **Q: What is the best way to place an address pin accurately?** A: A full address with city and country gives Google Maps a better chance of landing the pin in the right place. If an address still resolves badly, switch that pin to Latitude and enter exact coordinates instead. That is the safer option when precision matters more than convenience.
