== Installation ==
 
This plugin can be installed just like you would install any other WordPress plugin. Because Google Map embed require an API key you'll need to provide a valid API key in plugin settings as well. See the detailed steps below.
 
1. Install and activate the Gutenberg plugin if you are on a WordPress version <= `5.0`
2. Upload the plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
4. Obtain a Google Map embed API key (instructions below)
5. Visit the plugin settings from Tools > Google Map and enter/save your Google Map embed API key
6. Search for _Google Map_ when adding a new content block
7. Drag the marker to your preferred location
8. Optionally edit the advanced block settings

== API Key ==

This plugin requires an API key to interact with Google Maps. Without an API key maps will not be displayed.

To obtain an API key follow these steps:
1. Create a new project in the Google Developer's console by clicking [here](https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_backend,static_maps_backend,maps_embed_backend&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE&reusekey=true) and selecting _Create new project_
2. Name your project
3. Select _HTTP referrers (web sites)_  for the _Key restriction_ type
4. Enter the domains where your API key will be used
    - Example: `*.mysite.com`
5. Click the _Create_ button
6. Write your API key down in a safe place
7. Enter the API key into the plugin settings

Note: The API key will be exposed publicly to generate the map. It is important to [restrict your API key](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/get-api-key#key-restrictions) so others do not abuse it. The API key will be used, and displayed, in both the WordPress editor and the front end of the site.
