Place a Map on a UX
In the UX Builder open the UX Control page.
On the left side of the page scroll down through the Data Controls menu and click on the Map Control.
The New Control dialog will open. Give the map a name and click OK.
The Map control should now appear in the UX component. If you run the component in Live Preview you should see a simple Google Map.
You can modify a Map control using the Map Properties section of the Control properties list. The properties list appears on the right side of the UX Controls page whenever a control on the page is highlighted.
Adjusting the Size of a Map
Highlight the Map control that has been placed on the UX component. In the properties list find the Map width and Map height properties.
Change the Map width and Map height properties by typing in new dimensions

Click the Geocode Address button. This will fill in the longitude and latitude for the typed address automatically.
Click OK and view the map in either Live or Working Preview.
