    Default Full width Google map

    I am trying to make a full width google map. I set the width to 100% but is not working. Any help will be appreciated.

    Try setting the Placeholder/widget to Stretch Full Width: Utilities > Web Sticky/Stretchy

    You were 15 minutes late. I'm docking your pay accordingly. What's 25% of nothing?

    you do know we don't get paid for this.. we just do it out of generosity, right?

    and maybe, just maybe, we also have other things to do as well...

    Of course I know you do it out of generosity and I am very grateful for the solutions you have provided for me so far. I didn't mean to be offensive. Just a bit frustrated as I spent two days on this.i apologise if it came out wrong.
    I didn't mean it this way. Sorry. My bad!

    Andre, you did not explain what you wanted to do with it so i have designed something that allows you to add any location and scaling in google Maps and then use its Share and Embed > Embed a Map option.

    Copy this code into a Placeholder Body and change the width to 100% and the height to a large number. I chose 2048.

    In Export options, I set Scale to fit width to 4096.

    These options cover most browser scalings and widths.

    The Placeholder has to be the bottommost object on MouseOff layer.
    The Placeholder must not have Re-generate applied.

    Google Maps Embed - Oslo.xar

    There are other approaches using the Google Maps API but you would need to have gaining an API Key.

    The other method is to just use a static image and use CSS to make it cover the browser. Far more code but it then doesn't require an live Internet connection.

    Thank you Acorn. I just want full width map, not full screen. Something like a banner.
