Generate a Google map for use in Mailchimp email marketing

  • Enter the address that the map will show. You can enter into the 'Street Address' field a landmark instead of the address e.g. 'Town Hall' and the 'Address Line 2' isn't mandatory.
  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Why the map maker for email marketing?

It’s very difficult to insert a Google or Bing map into an email campaign and ensure that the map displays for all recipients of your email marketing. The reason is that Google and Bing (and other online map providers) give you some ‘code’ to insert into your email campaign; the code given isn’t an image and contains stuff that is incompatible with email standards (set a very long time ago).

I get many people asking how they can easily get a map to insert into their email marketing. I therefore generated the map maker as below.

What the map maker does

The form above will generate a Google Map as an image for the address of your choosing. You’ll then be able to add the map to your email marketing as you add any other image. The map of course can be used in Mailchimp email campaigns as well as other providers such as ActiveCampaign, Constant Contact, Campaigns Monitor, AWeber and so on.

Instructions for using the Google image map maker

Time needed: 5 minutes.

Here are the instructions to generate a Google map for inclusion in your email marketing.

  1. Generate your map

    Enter the address for which you’d like a map generated. Complete the first name and email fields and click the ‘Get my map button’.

  2. Download your map

    You’ll receive an email message with the URL for your map image. Click the URL and then save the image to your computer.

  3. Insert the image into your email campaign

    Your map can be inserted into your email marketing campaign just as you add any other image.

Hi. I’m Gary and this is my playground.

I’m a Mailchimp Pro Partner and use this website to host tools I use in my Mailchimp consulting and training.

These tools are free and I add and delete tools as needed (therefore there may sometimes be many and other-times few tools).

Feel free to use the tools and have fun 🙂

If you notice any issues with any tool then please let me know.
