Adjust the iframe

Bootstrap provides us with classes with which we can adjust the aspect ratio of the iframe. To use them, we need to put our iframe into a wrapper with a ratio class and a second class that defines our ratio. For example, if we want our iframe to have an aspect ratio like youtube video thumbnails, we can use the ratio-16x9 class but remember to make this work, we had to remove the iframe's hardcoded height, width, and inline CSS.

Satelite map

If you want a satellite view just set it on google maps before step 2 and it will show a satellite view automatically.

Map within card

Add <div> with the map to your card and set its width. In the example below, I used the .w-50 class.

Card title
