Integration with map data has never been more important for businesses and users. As our systems become ever more connected, the contextualisation of information in terms of location provides incredible value to businesses.

One method to integrate this is displaying locations on a map. This might be static locations like the site(s) your business runs from, or maybe the location of your pop-up store. For these types of applications, Wix has a wonderful element which can be dragged and dropped right into your website. Here’s the link to their excellent tutorial.

A far more complex implementation is the addition of dynamic and changing locations to the map. This could be incredibly useful for dynamically updating the location of your delivery drivers, or in my case, displaying an audit trail for a security seal. It involves a series of coding efforts, the addition of an HTML element, and connecting to a database collection.

The Wix provided tutorial is pretty good, however, I felt that an in-depth, step-by-step tutorial would add a lot of value. So here it is.

Enjoy ❤️
