Map layers Pro ​

Layers overlay additional information on top of your Google Maps embed. The Pro version supports three Google Maps layer types.

Available layers ​

LayerDescription
TrafficReal-time traffic conditions with color-coded road segments (green = clear, yellow = moderate, red = heavy)
BicycleDedicated bike lanes, shared roads, and trails
TransitPublic transportation routes, stations, and stops

Enabling layers ​

In the WPGSV editor, go to the Layers tab. Toggle on the layers you want. You can enable multiple layers simultaneously.

Use cases ​

  • Delivery businesses — Show traffic conditions around your location
  • Bike shops and cycling tours — Highlight nearby cycling infrastructure
  • Hotels and event venues — Display public transit options for guests without cars
  • Urban businesses — Help customers plan their commute to your location

Layer limitations ​

  • Layers only apply to the Google Maps and Synchronized modes (not Street View alone)
  • Traffic data is real-time and varies by location and time of day
  • Bicycle and transit data coverage depends on the region
