To add a map to a Vuetify image, you can use the Vuetify <v-img> component along with the Google Maps Embed API. Here is a step-by-step guide to achieve this:

  1. First, ensure you have a Google Maps Embed API key. You can obtain one by following the instructions on the Google Maps Embed API documentation.
  2. Install the Google Maps Embed API script in your HTML file:
1
<script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY"></script>


Make sure to replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key.

  1. Add the

<template>
  <v-container>
    <v-img class="map-container" src="/path/to/your/image.jpg"></v-img>
  </v-container>
</template>


  1. Add a method to initialize the Google Maps Embed API with your API key and set the map location:

export default {
  mounted() {
    this.initMap()
  },
  methods: {
    initMap() {
      const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
        zoom: 15,
        center: { lat: YOUR_LATITUDE, lng: YOUR_LONGITUDE } // Set your desired map center coordinates
      })

      const marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: { lat: YOUR_LATITUDE, lng: YOUR_LONGITUDE }, // Set your marker position
        map: map
      })
    }
  }
}


Make sure to replace YOUR_LATITUDE and YOUR_LONGITUDE with the actual coordinates you want to display on the map.

  1. Style the map container by adding the following CSS:

<style>
.map-container {
  position: relative;
  height: 400px; /* Set your desired map height */
}

#map {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}
</style>


Now, when you load your Vue app, you should see the image with the embedded Google Map displaying at the specified coordinates.
