By default, every share link and QR code from a map points at its own address on yourteam.map.au. But if you've embedded the map inside a page on your own website, you'd rather visitors landed on your page — with the map sitting in it — not on the bare map. The Override all share link URLs setting does exactly that.
Where to set it
-
Open the map
Go to map.au and open the embedded map.
-
Go to Settings → Sharing
Select the Settings tab and scroll to the Sharing heading.
-
Enter your page URL
In Override all share link URLs, paste the address of the page where the map is embedded, e.g.
https://yoursite.com/our-map/. Save the map.Leave it blank to keep the normal yourteam.map.au short links.
How the landmark still travels
This is the important part. When you set an override, every share link and QR points at your page — but Mapvera appends the landmark as a ?location=… query on the end. That query is what tells the embedded map which landmark to open when the page loads.
So a share link for the landmark reception becomes something like https://yoursite.com/our-map/?location=reception. The visitor lands on your page, and the embedded map opens straight on Reception.
?location= flow through to the map.What changes, at a glance
| Share source | Blank override | With override set |
|---|---|---|
| A landmark's Share button | yourteam.map.au/…?location=id | yoursite.com/our-map/?location=id |
| A QR code | points at the map's address | points at your page, landmark in the URL |
| Which landmark opens | the shared one | the shared one (via ?location=) |
Good to know
The override is per map — set it on each map you've embedded. The ?location= value is a landmark's ID, so keep landmark IDs stable: changing an ID breaks any share link or QR already in the wild. Test one share link after saving to confirm your page opens the map on the right landmark.
