Does this work on both Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1?

Yes. The embed is a standard iframe, and both Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1 support pasting iframes via Code Blocks and Embed Blocks.

Do I need a specific Squarespace plan to embed the map?

Code Blocks are available on most current Squarespace plans. If your plan doesn't include them, use an Embed Block instead: add the block, click the pencil icon, switch to 'Code Snippet', and paste the iframe — that works on standard plans too.

Is this a free alternative to Squarespace map plugins?

Yes. Unlike paid Squarespace map plugins, the RoamRecs widget is free with unlimited embeds and views, includes rich place details and photos, and live-syncs when you update your collection. A Pro tier adds white-labeling, custom branding, lead capture, and analytics.

Will the embedded map slow down my Squarespace site?

No. The widget lazy-loads, so the map only loads when a visitor scrolls to it, and it doesn't block the rest of your page from rendering.

Does the map update automatically when I add new places?

Yes. The embed loads your live collection, so adding, editing, or removing a place in RoamRecs updates your Squarespace page automatically — no need to re-edit the block.

Squarespace Map Widget

Add a multi-pin interactive map to your Squarespace site

Squarespace's built-in Map Block shows exactly one pin. Your travel guide, venue list, or local recommendations deserve more. Paste one snippet into a Code Block and get a live, interactive map of every place you recommend.

What you paste into a Squarespace Code Block

<iframe src="https://roamrecs.com/view-collection.html?tripId=YOUR_TRIP_ID"
  width="100%" height="600" loading="lazy"
  title="My collection — RoamRecs"
  style="border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:16px;max-width:100%;"></iframe>
<p><a href="https://roamrecs.com/view-collection.html?tripId=YOUR_TRIP_ID">My Collection</a>
  — map by <a href="https://roamrecs.com">RoamRecs</a></p>

You don't write this yourself — open your collection, click Share, choose Embed on your site, and copy.

how it works

Three steps in the Squarespace editor

Works on Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1 — no plugins, no custom CSS, no developer.

Build your collection

Sign up free and save the places you want to show — restaurants, hotels, venues, or a full city guide. Each one becomes a real pinned location, grouped by destination.

Copy the embed snippet

Open your collection, click Share → Embed on your site, and copy the snippet. It includes an attribution link that earns your Squarespace site a real backlink.

Paste into a Code Block

Edit your page, add a Code Block where the map should go, and paste. If your plan doesn't include Code Blocks, use an Embed Block → Code Snippet instead. Save — your map is live.

why not the map block?

Built for recommendations, not just an address

The native Map Block is fine for a contact page. This is for everything else.

Unlimited pins, one map

Squarespace's Map Block shows a single location. A RoamRecs embed maps your entire list — 10 places or 200 — grouped by destination automatically.

Rich place details

Visitors tap any pin to see photos and details — not just a name on a map. It feels like a product, not a screenshot.

Live-syncing content

Update your collection once and every page embedding it updates instantly. No re-editing blocks across your site.

Free, unlike map plugins

Third-party Squarespace map plugins charge monthly for multi-pin maps. The RoamRecs widget is free with unlimited embeds and views.

Frequently asked questions
