Integrating Mapbox for Enhanced Mapping

One of the best parts of HubSpot’s Interactive Location Map module is how smoothly it integrates with Mapbox. This integration makes it easy to deliver high-quality, visually engaging maps that encourage visitors to explore and interact.

To get started, you’ll only need a Mapbox Access Token, which serves as your public key from Mapbox.com.

You can easily tailor the map style to match your content, with options including Streets, Outdoors, Light, Dark, Satellite, and Satellite + Streets. You can also set the starting coordinates (latitude and longitude) and choose the initial zoom level, from a global view down to street level.

This level of control helps ensure that visitors see the most useful, relevant view of your map as soon as it loads.

Practical Layout Configurations for Various Industries

HubSpot's Interactive Location Map module offers several practical layout configurations that meet different industry needs:

• Corporate Directory: Ideal for "Our Offices" or "Global Presence" sections, this layout features a side panel for navigation and corporate branding.
• Immersive Travel Experience: Perfect for "Destinations" or "Resorts," this high-impact layout uses floating glassmorphism cards over a satellite map.
• Retail Store Locator: Designed for "Find a Store" applications, this layout includes a right-side panel and compact, simple cards for easy navigation.
• Minimalist Contact Footer: A subtle, monochrome map suitable for footer or "Contact Us" sections, with no side panel; just the map.

These configurations not only make the map more visually appealing but also create a smoother navigation experience, helping customers quickly find and engage with the information they need.

Advanced Card Styles and Their Benefits

The Interactive Location Map module offers several advanced card styles, each tailored to specific user needs and design preferences:

• Standard (Image Top): Features a large image, title, description, and CTA button, ideal for visually rich presentations.
• Simple: A text-only, clean, and minimal style that focuses on essential information.
• Minimal: Compact title-only cards, perfect for long lists or when space is limited.
• Glassmorphism: Translucent blurred backgrounds, best suited for immersive layouts with floating cards.

These card styles make it easy for businesses to share location information that matches your brand’s look and feel, creating a smoother, more engaging experience for visitors.

Design and Interaction Settings to Enhance User Experience

Customization plays a key role in how effective the Interactive Location Map module can be. You can easily adjust a variety of design and interaction settings to create a smoother, more engaging experience for your users:

• Primary Accent Color: Set the color for buttons, active card borders, and highlights to match your branding.
• Font Family: Choose to inherit the theme font or select a font manually.
• Map Height: Set different heights for desktop and mobile views for an optimal user experience.
• Border Radius and Shadow: Add rounding and depth to the map container for a polished look.
• Grayscale Mode: Display map tiles in black & white for minimal or dark designs.
• Interaction Settings: Enable or disable scroll zoom and drag pan to control how users interact with the map.

These settings help ensure your map not only looks great but also works smoothly, giving visitors an intuitive, engaging experience.
