Hey guys,

is there any advantage in using the Cornerstone element for google maps instead of just pasting the iframe src code provide by google maps?

Attached you find a screenshot, which shows the Cornerstone element on the left and the iframe code on the right side. I find the right one much more appealing looking, so I’m wondering, whether there’d be any downside.

Thanks for you input!

Best,
Hans

Hello Hans,

Thanks for writing in! The screenshot were not being uploaded because it exceeds the allowable file size. The map element in Cornerstone were develop for Cornerstone and we have built in using Google maps API. Through this development, this may not look like the same compared to the iframe source code provided by Google Maps itself. With the iframe code, what you see before getting the iframe code will be the same when you embed the code in your site. All the contents of the iframe is exactly the same content from Google Maps. This is why it look much better and have better control.

Hope this explains it briefly.

Alright, thanks!

So there’s no downside in using the iframe code, in other areas like SEO, legal issues from the side of Google or such?

PS: You anyways got it, just for sake of completeness I re-attached the file.

There is no downside and it will depend on your preference.

Thanks.
