About the Express Map Content Block
Express Maps are one of the interactive map features built and viewed inside StoryMaps. These are meant to be quick and easy maps that provide geographic context. Express maps can depict a single geographic point (as taught in workshop one), multiple geographic points, a designated geographic area, and routes. An express map can be repositioned in your story, but content within an express map cannot be moved outside of that express map or copied into another express map.
