    Hi,

    I would like to customize my Google Map (in contact section) to greyscale (something like the attachment). Which is the easiest/best way to achieve that? I’m using Cornerstone’s built in “Embed map” now.

    I’ve also looked at Snazzy Maps and mapstyle.withgoogle.com, but I couldn’t understand where to insert the map code when working in Cornerstone.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for writing in! Let’s use the “Google Map” element instead of “Map Embed”. You can set the map hue for the Google Map element – http://prntscr.com/d77p5r

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Thanks. I’ve tried that but choosing a light grey hue only made the land grey – the highways went red and the water light red.

    Hi there,

    It will depend on the color you choose. Let’s try a different color – http://prntscr.com/d7m017

    However note that hue is just set a specific contrast, you can’t really control every object with this. You might need to use a more advanced map with some premium plugin.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Aha. RBG 5,35,19 made the ocean light green – so I guess it’s not possible to make these colored parts grey or white? I will look for a plugin then, thanks for the help.

    Ps. Is there any recommended feature in Cornerstone for inserting shortcode from a plugin? I tried with Widget Area + “WP Google Maps” (no luck) and “Google Maps WD” (map does display but not correct).

    Hello There,

    Thanks for updating in! Please insert a text element. You can insert any working shortcode using this element. If you are inserting a raw code like a map embedded code, it is advisable that you use raw content element instead.

    Hope this helps.

    Okay! So now I’ve inserted a text element with the code from a Google Maps plugin. The maps works better, but this time I have problems removing the margins (top and bottom) around the map (text element). I would like the map to cover all of it’s column.

    Hi There,

    On the class box of the text you have added your Google Maps, add : man

    the class box is found at the bottom of the text element.

    If that does not work, add the on style box: margin: 0 !important;

    Hope that helps

    Hi,

    Do you mean that I should name the class of the text element “man”?
    And then like this?

    .man {
    margin: 0 !important;
    }

    Sorry my confusion.

    Hi There,

    The class man is already declared on X theme. See this:https://community.theme.co/kb/css-class-index/

    No need to add this:

    .man {
    margin: 0 !important;
    }

    Hope this helps.

    Hi again,

    I’m using a plugin now to get the colors right, but the top margin is still a problem unfortunately.
