Replace Default Images
Step 1 - Copy your Google Maps location code
- Instructions are taken from Google Maps Help
- Traffic and other Maps info is sometimes not available in the embedded map.
- Open Google Maps
- Find your property location
- Click Share


- Click Embed a map
- Click Copy HTML (this will copy the entire code). The code should start with <iframe and end with /iframe>
The code will be generated in the language of your browser and the map will be displayed in that language.
Example: The code highlighted red below is the language of the map, English (en). If necessary you can change it to other languages (e.g Spanish (es), Portuguese (pt), etc).
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d7886.465207518082!2d115.1726561!3d-8.764173!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x2dd244f35b8a5d05%3A0xd42d4da6a44aa938!2sJimbaran%20Beach!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sid!4v1596624024065!5m2!1sen!2sid" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" aria-hidden="false" tabindex="0"></iframe>

Step 2 - Add the Customization code on Cloudbeds PMS
Add the following code in the Custom Meta Tags section and replace the red sentence with your Google Map URL from Step 1.
<style>
#map_canvas, #map_canvas_big {
display: none;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.addEventListener("load", function(event) {
//append google maps iframe
var d1 = document.getElementById('map_canvas');
d1.insertAdjacentHTML('afterend', 'Put your Google map URL here');
}, false);
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.addEventListener("load", function(event) {
//append google maps iframe
var d1 = document.getElementById('map_canvas_big');
d1.insertAdjacentHTML('afterend', '<iframe src="Put your Google map URL here" width="100%" height="274">');
}, false);
</script>
