When to use a location map
The location map can be used to embed an interactive Google Maps location on a page. It usually features in website sections like Accommodation and Campus and Facilities pages, where location information is helpful to the user.
To use the location map you will need to have a primary location that you want to act as a central point to the map. You can then add up to four additional pins showing nearby points of interest.
For each pin added, you can also add a description and a link to 'get directions'. This information will appear next to the map in a copy section.

The location descriptions should be kept as short as possible to fit into the limited space, especially if the maximum number of locations pins have been used.
