Maps

Put the shop and the places your group meets on a live map. Each marker is a pin, a circle or a bare icon, or your own logo, in your theme colours. Tiles load only when the map is about to be seen, or only when a visitor asks.

Things to try

Open a marker

Press a marker, or tab to it and press Enter, for its popup. The bookshop opens by itself.

Move the map

Drag and use the plus and minus buttons. On a phone one finger scrolls the page and two fingers move the map.

The list below

The places are also a plain list, which is what a screen reader and a visitor without script get.

Ask before loading

The second map loads nothing from the tile server until you press its button.

The book club around town

The bookshop is a logo, then a pin with a coffee cup, a circle with an open book and a bare Instagram mark. The map frames them all.

In a column

A map is a block like any other, so it sits in a column next to the opening hours and the address. On a phone the columns stack and the map comes last.

Still, or buttons only

Set by hand, a map shows exactly the view you chose. The left map does not move at all, though its marker still opens. The right one zooms with its buttons, and dragging scrolls the page as usual.

A map that asks first

Every tile request tells the tile server the visitor’s address, so this map waits for a click. Sites with a strict consent policy choose this.
