Let Your Readers Explore the World From Your Pages
Have you ever wanted to show your readers exactly what a location looks like? Whether you're a travel blogger showcasing a destination, a local business showing off your storefront, or an event planner highlighting a venue, static photos can only do so much.
With Fflipp, you can now embed a fully interactive Google Maps Street View directly into your flipbook. Your readers can pan, zoom, and explore a location in 360 degrees without ever leaving your publication. It's a simple feature that creates an unforgettable "wow" moment.
Your Step-by-Step Guide to Embedding Google Maps
The process is incredibly simple and uses Google's own sharing tools.
- Use Google Maps Street View: Go to maps.google.com. By dragging Pegman to a place on the map, find the exact Street View or 360° photo you want to share.
- Click "Share": Look for "Share or embed image" in the kebab menu and click it. A pop-up will appear.
- Select "Embed a map": This is the crucial step! It will give you an HTML '< iframe >' code.
- Copy the Code: Copy the entire '< iframe >' code that Google provides.
- Paste into the Editor: In the Fflipp Advanced Editor, add a new "360 Tour" hotspot. In the URL field, simply paste the full '< iframe >' code you copied from Google. Our system is smart enough to extract the correct URL for you!
- Position and Save: Place the new 360° hotspot on your page. You're done!
Pro Tip: Find More 360° Photos
This feature isn't limited to just the official Street View imagery. Google Maps is filled with amazing 360° photos submitted by users. Look for the small circular photo icons to discover and embed unique views of restaurants, parks, and landmarks!
