Description
Are you using Gutenberg and need a map? This is the map block for you! Install, active, add to content. Done! No nonsense, no unneeded settings. Simple and clear in its function – as any Gutenberg block should be.
Gutenberg is now a core feature so please update to WordPress v5, or install the Gutenberg plugin.
Plugin Features

* address, or coordinates
* zoom
* map height
* API key – once saved in one block it’s used in all others
