# Google Maps Integration

You can add a Google Map to your application in [Contact Us section](https://softr.gitbook.io/softr-documentation/building-blocks/form/contact-form-with-google-map). Here are the steps to do that:

### Step 1

To use the Maps in your application you must have an API key. The API key is a unique identifier that is used to authenticate requests associated with your application for usage and billing purposes.

Go to this page and follow the instructions described in Google documentation: <https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key?hl=en>

### Step 2

Copy the API Key created for your project (Note: you need to create a new project if you don't have one).

### Step 3

Go back to Softr Studio, click on the Contact Us section, and add the Google Map API Key field shown below:

Publish changes and you should be able to see the correct address on the map.
