To use Google Maps with Webflow while preventing Google Webfonts from being loaded, you can utilize the Custom Code feature in Webflow to achieve the desired result. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Obtain the necessary Google Maps API key
Before you start integrating Google Maps into your Webflow site, make sure to obtain a Google Maps API key. You can do this by following Google's instructions on how to generate an API key.
Step 2: Embed Google Maps on your Webflow site
Go to the Webflow Designer and select the page where you want to add Google Maps. Add an embed component to the desired section of your page.
Step 3: Disable Google Webfonts CSS file
Webflow automatically includes an external CSS file for Google Webfonts on your site. To prevent this CSS file from being loaded, you can use the Custom Code feature.
In the Webflow Designer, go to your website's settings and navigate to the Custom Code section. In the head section code, add the following CSS code:
```css
```
By adding this code, you prevent the default Google Webfonts CSS file from loading within Webflow.
Step 4: Customize the Google Maps embed code
Next, you need to customize the embed code for the Google Maps component. Add the following code within the embedded component:
```html
\`\`\`Replace the placeholders like "YOUR_MAP_COORDINATES", "LONGITUDE", "LATITUDE", and "YOUR_MAP_ZOOM" with your specific Google Maps configuration. You can obtain the necessary values from the Google Maps embed code provided by Google Maps itself.
Step 5: Publish your site and test
Once you have customized the Google Maps embed code and disabled the Google Webfonts CSS file, save and publish your site. Then, visit the page where you embedded the Google Maps component to test if everything is working correctly.
By following these steps, you can effectively use Google Maps with Webflow while preventing Google Webfonts from being loaded. Now, your Google Maps will be integrated seamlessly into your Webflow site without the unnecessary loading of Google Webfonts.
