Summary:

- That's all!
Steps to migrate using Site Export or Space Export:
- Import the site or space data into the cloud instance
- Install Embed Google Map into the Cloud instance and obtain a license for the app
- All done!
Differences between Server and Cloud
The Cloud version is simplified for a smoother experience, while still keeping the most popular features. You can review the behaviour of all parameters in the table below.
Continued development of the app, including security fixes, app hosting and 24x7 support is funded by Embed Google Maps Pro app being a commercial (paid) app. You can review pricing information here: Pricing Page

Additional features of the Embed Google Maps Pro:
In addition to the basic features of the Embed Google Map app, the Cloud version of Embed Google Maps Pro also supports:
- Automatically convert pasted Google Maps links into macros
- Support for Google My Maps custom maps
- Support for pasting urls and IFRAME embed code directly from the Google Maps UI
- Exporting "static" versions of the maps to PDF (printable maps)
Limitations
Support for migrated content of Embed Google Maps Pro for Server/Data Center in Embed Google Maps Pro for Cloud is implemented as a hidden macro.
A hidden macro just means that it does not appear in the search (so that when you search for Google Maps, only one - the cloud native version appears).
Alternatively, the maps can be re-made using native Embed Google Maps Pro – either by pasting a sharing link from Google Maps UI, or by inserting a map with /map shortcut.
