You can embed any HTML code into the Wiki page of Html type. So creating a widget containing embedded Google Maps will consist of the following steps:

  1. Follow the instructions in the Google Maps Platform Developer Guide to get a Google API key and form an iframe code with the URL of the map you need to show and specific parameters to it.
  2. In Acumatica ERP, create a Wiki page as described in How to create a dashboard widget that opens Acumatica ERP forms or web pages Knowledge Base article, steps 1 and 2. Insert an iframe code formed in the previous step as shown in the screenshot below: 

     

  3. Follow steps 9 and 10 from the article above to add the Wiki Page widget to the dashboard.
  4. Your Google Map is now accessible from the Acumatica dashboard!
