> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

Static maps allow you to display a predefined place on a map. For example, an office building, a shop or a street. You only need to place the **Static Google maps** or **Static Bing** **maps** web part on the page. In the web part, you specify the address or coordinates (latitude, longitude) of the location.

> **Note:** **Requirement for Bing Maps**
>
> To use Bing Maps, you need to apply [hotfix 10.0.27](https://devnet.kentico.com/download/hotfixes) or newer.

> **Info:** The **Google maps** and **Bing maps widgets** are derived from their **Static map** web part counterparts. They provide the same functionality as the web part, only with a limited set of properties.

## Placing a static map on a page

1. In the **Pages** application,navigate to the page on which you want to display the map.
2. Switch to the **Design** tab.
3. [Place](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/developing-websites/developing-websites-using-the-portal-engine/using-and-configuring-web-parts.md#adding-web-parts) the **Static Google maps** or the **Static Bing maps** web part on the page. The **web part properties** dialog opens.
4. Fill in the **Location or address** or the **Latitude** and **Longitude** fields.
   - Using latitude and longitudeallows the system to process the location faster. These properties can also be more accurate.
   - Select the **Use server processing** option if you want the server to process and cache the processed (translated to latitude and longitude) **Location or address** field. If you decide to do so, please check that your map service query limits (IP-based) are sufficient for your needs.
5. Specify the rest of the web part properties, especially in the **Content** and **Map properties** categories. Hover over a property to see its description.
6. Click **OK**.
