To anchor or pin elements on your venue site's map in Webflow so that they remain in the correct spot regardless of the window size or platform used, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the element you want to anchor or pin on your map. This could be a marker, a label, or any other element you want to keep in a fixed position.

  2. In the right-hand sidebar, click on the "Position" tab.

  3. Under the "Position" section, change the position type to "Fixed" by selecting the "Fixed" option from the drop-down menu. This will allow you to pin the element to a specific position on the screen.

  4. Once you've selected the "Fixed" position type, you'll notice additional options appear. You can now specify the horizontal and vertical position of the element.

  5. Use the "Top", "Right", "Bottom", and "Left" fields to set the element's position. For example, if you want the element to always appear at the top-right corner of the screen, you would set the "Top" field to 0 and the "Right" field to 0.

  6. You can also use percentages or other units to achieve more specific positioning. For example, setting the "Right" field to 10% would keep the element positioned 10% from the right edge of the screen.

  7. If you want the element to remain in the same position regardless of scrolling, make sure to enable the "Maintain scroll position" option. This will ensure the element stays fixed even if the user scrolls through the map.

  8. Preview and test your map on different screen sizes and platforms to ensure the pinned element remains in the correct spot.

By using fixed positioning, you can anchor specific elements on your venue site's map, ensuring they stay in the desired position regardless of the window size or platform used.
