How do I embed live traffic?

If you wish to display live traffic, we recommend using Waze live map as it integrates better than Google’s live map.

  1. Navigate to https://www.waze.com/livemap and move to the map area you want to display
  2. Click the “share” button at the bottom right
  3. Select the “Embed a map” tab
  4. Copy only the address inside “src” property (as you would in the Google Maps example above)
