Sharing and Embedding Your Map

Written by Melinda Haughey

This article is about the Proxi admin app at app.proxi.co.

Your map is live from the moment you create it — there's no separate publish step. Anyone with the link can open it, and everything below is about getting that link (and your map) in front of people.

Sharing the Link

Click Share in the map editor's top bar. You'll get:

  • The map's link with a Copy button.

  • A QR code — great for posters and table tents; visitors scan it to open the map on their phone. (For a downloadable QR image, open the Maps page, click the ⋮ menu on your map card, choose Share, and use the QR Code tab's Download QR Code.)

  • One-tap sharing to social networks and email.

Visitors get a share button on the map too. If your map is embedded somewhere private and you'd rather they didn't share it around, turn off Allow users to share map in the editor's Viewer actions section.

Embedding on Your Website

In the Share panel (or under Preview → Embed), copy the embed code and paste it into your site where the map should appear:

<script src="…/embed/m.js" defer></script>
<proxi-map data-id="…"></proxi-map>

The embed sizes itself automatically. One setting worth knowing: by default, scrolling past an embedded map won't zoom it (so it doesn't hijack the page). If you want scroll-to-zoom, switch on Zoom On Scroll When Embedded in the editor's Display section.

Controlling How the Link Looks When Shared

Open the editor's Sharing section to control what people see when your link lands in a text, social post, or search result:

  • Link preview — the Page title, Description, and Preview image (1200×630 works best; if you skip it we'll use your cover image or a snapshot of the map).

  • Save to home screen — the short name and icons used when someone saves your map to their phone's home screen like an app.

Being Found in Search

Also in the Sharing section: the List Publicly switch. On, and your map can appear in public discovery — search engines and Proxi's public surfaces. Off, and it stays link-only: anyone with the link can still open it, but it won't be listed anywhere.

Using Your Own Domain

Want map links on your own domain, like maps.yourtown.com? That's a workspace-level setting under Settings → Custom Domain & Email (available as a Pro add-on) — submit your domain, set up the DNS records we show you, and every map link switches over automatically.
