Any of the maps can be loaded with any filter applied and the outdoors, off-roading, taste and winter maps can be loaded with a search activated. Filters allow you to highlight locations that meet a custom set of conditions, including members of your organization. Search highlights places by name, url of blog post/article in our database or waterbody name.

In order to load the map with a custom filter, such as the one used to identify places on the Central Washington Color blogs, or an article, you must be a partner and work with us to add the tags or links to the data.

In order to highlight a location it must be on the maps. Agritourism businesses can be on the Taste NW map for free, other businesses must be part of a paid plan to be on the map.

Details and instructions for customizing the code

You have two options to embed:

Standard view has the tool bar on the right on desktop/laptop computers if the frame is large enough, and has controls on the top for smaller displays. In the standard view, all of the options are available in the iframe. The standard view includes the information, search and filter tools, as well as the sponsor logos.
Simplified view shows just the map with the information box on the bottom and the filter on the top right. It does not have the search tool or logos and works better in a small frame.

In addition to the map, you can add code to:

Open the map full frame so people can navigate and access all of the filters
Add a legend (if you are in embedded mode)

To add the maps to an i-frame in a website, select the map you want to use, zoom to the area you want shown and apply and filters or search, copy the URL and paste it into the iframe code below.

In the iframe code you can adjust the width and height to fit the space you are using by changing the width= and height= parameters. You can specify by percent (100% fills the frame), or by pixels. For example, width="100%" height="800" will make the map as wide as the window regardless of the browser size, but will always have it 800 pixels high.

To create the code for the iframe, replace the URL in the code below to the map showing exactly what you want in the iframe:

To add the map to an iframe (a map within a web site), use the following code:

Where https://maps.northwestportal.com/taste/#11.58/46.058694/-118.358558?filters=true&businesses=A1 is the URL for the map centered on the area you want to share with any filters applied.

If you want to have the map opened in a simpler version that is better for an iframe (no legend or filter option at the top) add ?embedded=true to the end of the UR.

https://maps.northwestportal.com/taste/#11.58/46.058694/-118.358558?filters=true&businesses=A1

https://maps.northwestportal.com/taste/#11.58/46.058694/-118.358558?filters=true&businesses=A1?embedded=true

If you want to embed a map with a search, you will have to use the following urls for the map. If you want to embed a different map with search, let us know and we will set up that map.

The maps load by default in the public lands view, but they can be configured to load with a photo background. If you would prefer the photo background, let us know. We currently have a photo option for the Snow NW - use the url https://maps.northwestportal.com/snow_photo to load the map with the photo background.

If you want to add a legend to the embedded frame, use the code:

Replacing outdoors with the name of the map you are using: bike, boat, camp, community, dogs, hike, horse, kids, off-roading, outdoors, snow, snowmobile, taste

To give people the option to open the map full frame add:

<a href="https://maps.northwestportal.com/taste/#11.58/46.058694/-118.358558?filters=true&businesses=A1/">Click here to open the map full frame and access the filters.</a>

(Using the URL that you have selected for the map).
