Snazzy Maps doesn’t work with my Google Maps plugin!

The Snazzy Maps plugin cannot apply styles to maps created using the Google Maps Embed API. This is because of
fundamental limitations on the way IFrames work on the web. We cannot access the map within Google’s IFrame and cannot
apply any styles to it. Sorry! Switching to a WordPress plugin that uses Google’s JavaScript API will work instead.

The following plugins will not work with the Snazzy Maps WordPress plugin:

If you happen to find any other map plugins that don’t work please send us an email at [email protected].
