FortressDB has a Google Maps block. It lets you plot pins on a map based on locations in a FortressDB table.
The block is easy to use. From Gutenberg, select the block, then choose which data table you want to plot co-ordinates for. You can also customise the pin by using field names from the same data table.
The block editor will show a preview. After publication, it will look similar to the following. Different themes or page templates will have different widths.
