How to cite a Google map in APA Style

A customer recently asked us how to cite a Google map in APA style. There is no specific entry in the APA Publication Manual for doing this. We suggested that she cite this as a web page because that is what it is.

To cite a web page you need the URL. Here is how to get the URL for a Google Map.

  1. Search Google maps for the location you are discussing in your paper
  2. Click the Share button
  3. Click “COPY LINK”
  4. Once you copy the URL you can paste the URL into the reference
