Question 1

How do I add multiple pins to a map in Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

The default Squarespace Map Block shows only a single location. To add multiple pins to one map, install the Advanced Map Block plugin, then point a Map Block at a Gallery, Blog, or Events collection where each item has its Location Tab filled, and choose Use Collection Locations as the source.

Question 2

Does Squarespace support multiple locations on one map?

Accepted Answer

No — Squarespace's native Map Block is limited to a single location per block. To show multiple locations on one map you need the Advanced Map Block plugin, which pulls pins from a Gallery, Blog, or Events collection where each item's Location Tab is filled in, then displays them together.

Question 3

What is the Advanced Map Block for Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

The Advanced Map Block is a Squarewebsites plugin that extends Squarespace's Map Block to show multiple locations, custom markers per category, and custom map styles on a single map. The native Map Block only supports one location; this plugin pulls many pins from a collection and lets you style them with Snazzy Maps or Google Maps styles.

Question 4

Can I add custom map markers and labels in Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Not with the native Squarespace Map Block, which uses default Google pins. The Advanced Map Block plugin adds custom marker images per category and custom labels, and lets you style the underlying map with Snazzy Maps or Google Maps styles. Markers pull from a collection whose items have filled Location Tabs.

Question 5

How do I embed a Google Map with multiple locations in Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Use the Advanced Map Block plugin, which is built on the Google Maps instance and displays multiple locations on one embedded map. Add a Gallery, Blog, or Events collection with each item's Location Tab filled, then set a Map Block to Use Collection Locations pointing at that collection to render the Google Map with all pins.

Question 6

Can I add a filterable store locator to Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pair the Advanced Map Block with the Universal Filter plugin to build a filterable store locator in Squarespace. The Advanced Map Block plots multiple locations from a collection, and Universal Filter adds search and category filtering to those pins. Real examples include Wanderlust Realty, ACFA, and Downtown Merced Partnership.

Question 7

Does the Advanced Map Block work on Squarespace 7.1?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Advanced Map Block works on all Squarespace templates across both version 7.0 and 7.1, so it is fully supported on 7.1 sites. It requires sitewide Code Injection, meaning a Business or Commerce plan; a Personal plan can attempt a Markdown block workaround that may break.
