How can I embed a custom Google Map style into a section element in Webflow while ensuring that it fills the entire section and has a static content overlay?

To embed a custom Google Map style into a section element in Webflow while ensuring it fills the entire section and has a static content overlay, you can follow these steps:

1. Get an API key: First, you'll need to obtain a Google Maps API key. Go to the Google Cloud Platform Console, create a new project, enable the Maps JavaScript API, and generate an API key.

2. Create a Section: In the Webflow Designer, create a new Section element or use an existing one where you want to embed the map.

3. Add a Div Block: Inside the Section element, add a Div Block element using the "+" button or by dragging and dropping it from the left panel. This Div Block will be used to contain the map.

4. Set Div Block Height: Select the Div Block element, go to the Styles tab, and set its height to 100%. This will make sure the Div Block fills the entire height of the Section.

5. Add Custom Code Embed: With the Div Block selected, go to the Settings tab, and add a Custom Code Embed component.

6. Add Google Maps JavaScript API: In the Custom Code Embed component, inside the <script> tags, add the following code to load the Google Maps JavaScript API using your API key:

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY"></script>

Remember to replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API key you obtained in step 1.

1. Style the Div Block: To ensure the map fills the Div Block, apply the following styles to the Div Block element:

• Position: Relative
• Width: 100%
• Height: 100%

1. Initialize the Map: In the Custom Code Embed component, after the previously added code, create a new <script> tag and add the following JavaScript code to initialize the map:

<script>  function initMap() {    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('your-div-block-id'), {      // Add your custom map style here      // Example: styles: [{ stylers: [{ saturation: -100 }] }]    });  }  google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initMap);</script>

Replace 'your-div-block-id' with the actual ID of your Div Block element. You can find the ID by selecting the Div Block and going to the Settings tab.

1. Add Custom Map Style: In the JavaScript code above, within the map object, you can add your custom map style by modifying the styles property. Google provides a Map Style Wizard where you can generate your desired style JSON. Simply customize the map as you prefer, copy the generated JSON, and add it to the styles property.

2. Add Content Overlay: To add a static content overlay on top of the map, you can add another Div Block inside the Section element and place your content (text, images, etc.) inside it. You can style this overlay Div Block as needed.

By following these steps, you'll be able to embed a custom Google Map style into a section element in Webflow, fill the entire section, and ensure it has a static content overlay.
