By default, Google Maps sets the locale to US-based locations. This can lead to confusion if you’d like to use any other country as your default location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that you can add a filter to easily resolve this issue. In this article, we’ll show you what filter to use and provide you with a sample snippet that you can modify to set your default country with Google Maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filter and snippet example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The filter that you can use to modify the default location with Google Maps is add_filter( 'tec_google_map_args', 'tec_customize_google_map_args', 10, 1 );<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To change the default location to Spain for example, you can add a snippet like the following to your functions.php file:<\/p>\n\n\n

\nadd_filter( 'tec_google_map_args', 'tec_customize_google_map_args', 10, 1 );\nfunction tec_customize_google_map_args ( $args ) {\n\t$args['region'] = 'es';\n\t\n\treturn $args;\n}\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
You can find a list of all of the available country codes here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also use the same snippet to localize the language the map is displayed in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To change the language to Spanish you need to add the following line to the above snippet, before the return:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n\t$args['language'] = 'es';\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Important note: this will override the user’s browser settings, so use it with care! Google’s documentation on localization can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
