Google map from server side to post on ejs page

Question

How can you show a Google map on an ejs page when you call it from server side, I can do it directly on the index page but need to figure out how to use the data I grabbed from server side to create the markers on the map. Tx

You have to enable and use the Google Maps Embed API and make sure to have your link in an iframe div. Google Maps Embed API maps are easy to add to your web page. Just set the URL you build as the value of an iframe's src attribute. Control the size of the map with the iframe's height and width attributes. No JavaScript required:

The URL for an Google Maps Embed API request is as follows:

https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/MODE?key=YOUR_API_KEY&parameters

All requests to the Google Maps Embed API must include a free API key as the value of a key parameter. Your key enables you to monitor your application's Maps API usage and ensures that Google can contact you about your application if necessary.
