LET'S LEARN TO ADD A LOCATION SLIDE TO YOUR STORYMAP.

To  add a new slide to your map, hit the button labeled "+ add slide."

This new slide is your first opportunity to drop a pin on your map. Each subsequent slide after this offers this option. I found the address for my first restaurant by searching for it on the Internet.

305 21st Ave, Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35401, United States

You can also use latitude and longitude reference numbers, although these pins are not always as accurate as a street address.

Add a headline, remembering that it needs to be meaningful to your audience, and add information to the description field. In my case, I entered the title of the restaurant and hyperlinked to the restaurant's website. I can add a lot more information to this description, but I think for demonstration purposes this should be enough!

To add an image from the restaurant, I found an image on their website, right clicked on the image and selected "open image in new tab."

In the new tab that now only contains the image of the restaurant, I right clicked and selected "copy image address."

Paste this address into the "URI to your media" field.

AND NOW YOU KNOW HOW TO ADD A LOCATION SLIDE TO YOUR STORYMAP!
