Key Steps
1. Review and enable Viewer Actions 0:11
Open viewer actions on the left side panel of your map editor under map style.
Decide which viewer actions should be available at the map level.
Common options include:
Map stats/info so viewers can see points, views, and last updated date.
Add a place / placeholder to crowdsource map content.
Share map so viewers can send the map to others.
Plan a route or optimized route for multi-stop navigation.
Send map to phone from desktop.
Map comments for general discussion on the map.
Translation if your audience needs multilingual support.
2. Configure the Map Stats for Public View 0:26
Enable Map stats if you want viewers to see map performance details.
Use this option when transparency or engagement metrics are helpful.
3. Enable sharing, routing, and mobile handoff features 1:14
Turn on Share map if you want viewers to distribute the map to others.
Enable Plan a route when users may need to visit multiple locations.
If relevant, allow optimized routing so viewers can visit points in the best order.
Use routing for use cases such as:
Seasonal travel maps
Sales territory planning
Multi-stop itineraries
Enable Send map to phone to let users move from desktop browsing to mobile use.
4. Add comments and translation at the map level 1:47
Turn on Map comments if you want viewers to discuss places on the map.
Use comments to encourage questions, local tips, or community feedback.
To enable Translation, click the I want this button, fill out additional context (i.e., what language and for which map/experience), and then click send.
This is a great feature for when your audience includes multiple languages.
Additional fees may apply for translation services.
Confirm that these features support your audience and moderation needs before publishing.
5. Configure Point Card Actions 2:15
Open Actions under Point Card on the left side panel of your map editor.
Decide which actions viewers can take on individual points.
Available point-level actions may include:
Get directions
Let owners claim their listing
Link to the Listing's public page
Upvotes
Mark as visited
Save a point
Share
Custom Link buttons
Point comments
Button order
If available, click the arrow next to options to expand the section
For each action, determine whether it should appear as a button or another display style.
6. Set directions and voting behavior for points 2:32
Enable Get directions if users should navigate to a point.
Choose the default direction mode if your map requires a specific travel method.
Turn on Upvotes if you want users to rate or support locations.
Decide whether to show the upvote count so viewers can see popularity at a glance.
7. Add visit tracking and filtering options 2:49
Enable Mark as Visited if users need to track places they have already been to.
Turn on the visited filter at the top if users should be able to sort or filter by visited status.
Use this feature for progress tracking, personal exploration, or gamified map experiences.
8. Allow saving, sharing, and point-level comments 3:07
Enable Save point so viewers can bookmark locations for later.
Saves show up on the viewer's My Places page.
Edit the custom label 'save' and the after-save label 'saved'
Toggle on the replace marker when saved option to swap the map pin for a saved icon once a viewer bookmarks the place.
Toggle own the Show Saved Filter option to add a chip to the filter bar so viewers can narrow the map to places they've saved.
Allow Share point if users should send individual locations to others.
Turn on Point Comments if you want discussion tied to specific locations rather than the whole map. Expand this section to:
Rename the Section title under point comments
Add instructions
Toggle on Allow Replies and Allow Reactions if you would like the public to reply and react to other comments.
Click Manage Comments to moderate, search, and download comments
Review the full set of enabled actions to ensure they match your engagement goals.
Cautionary Notes
Only enable actions that support your map’s purpose; too many options can confuse viewers.
If you allow comments, make sure you have a moderation plan in place.
Save/share features may expose user-generated content, so confirm privacy expectations before publishing.
Routing features should be tested to ensure they work correctly for your audience and map structure.
If you change default direction modes or button styles, verify the viewer experience on both desktop and mobile.
If available, click the arrow next to each options to expand the section for more customizable actions.
Tips for Efficiency
Start with the most important actions first, then add secondary features after testing.
Use Map stats and upvote counts when you want quick engagement signals.
Group related actions together in your setup process: map-level actions first, then point-level actions.
Test the map as a viewer after each major change to confirm the actions display and behave as expected.
