Every place card can carry a Share button. Tapping it reveals a row of ways to send that exact place to someone — so a visitor can tell a friend "meet me here" with a link that opens straight on the right spot.
What the Share button offers
Tapping Share expands a small row of actions on the card:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Device share | On phones, opens the operating system's own share sheet (Messages, email, and any app installed). Only shown where the device supports it. |
| Copy link | Copies a link to this place to the clipboard, with a brief "Link copied" confirmation. |
| Opens Facebook's share dialog with the link filled in. | |
| Opens WhatsApp with a "Check out …" message and the link ready to send. |
Turn the Share button on
In the editor, open Settings and tick Show share button on landmark popups. That adds the Share control (device share, copy link, Facebook and WhatsApp) to every place card on the map. Leave it off and cards show no Share button.
Point share links at your own website
If you've embedded the map in your own site, you probably want shared links to open your page rather than the map's own address. Under Settings → Sharing, the Override all share link URLs field does exactly that:
-
Enter your page's address
Put the address of the page where your map is embedded, e.g.
https://yoursite.com/our-map/. -
How the shared link behaves
Every share link and QR code now points at that page instead of the map's own address. The chosen place travels with the link as
?location=…, which tells the embedded map which place to open. -
Leave it blank for the default
With no override, share links use your normal Mapvera short links.
When the Share button won't appear
A card shows no Share button if Show share button on landmark popups is off, or if the map has no way to build a link (no override set and the map isn't yet published under your team address). Turning the setting on for a published map is all it usually takes.
