# Share a map
You can share a fragment of Yandex Maps, a [place you have found](https://yandex.com/support/maps/en/concept/object-search.md) or a [route you have set](https://yandex.com/support/maps/en/concept/rout.md).
To do this, follow these steps:
- Copy the address from the browser bar.
- [Get the link](#concept2).
- Get a [code for embedding a Yandex Maps widget](#concept3).
-
For more information on how to copy a link to a map you created yourself, see [Map Constructor](https://yandex.com/support/maps/en/concept/markers_0.md).
In other cases, use the [Yandex Maps API](https://tech.yandex.com/maps).
## Get a link {#concept2}
{% list tabs %}
- Manually
1. Click:
- The  button on the map and select **Share**.
- Alternatively, you can click  in the [panorama](https://yandex.com/support/maps/en/concept/panoramas.md).
1. In the window that opens:
- Click the icon of the desired social network to publish the link automatically.
- Copy the link to share it with another user.
- Automatically
If you need to automatically publish links to Yandex Maps on your site that uses the visitor's location data, use the [Yandex Maps URL scheme](https://tech.yandex.ru/yandex-apps-launch/maps/doc/concepts/yandexmaps-web-docpage/) to create the link.
{% endlist %}
## Embed a map widget {#concept3}
You can publish map widgets on your site or blog.
To do this, use the automatically generated code:
1. In the top-right corner of the page, click .
1. Select **Share**.
1. Copy the code from the [Widget with map](https://yandex.com/support/maps/en/concept/object-search.md) field to display the map or a specific [place](https://yandex.com/support/maps/en/concept/rout.md) or **route** on your website.
To see how the map will look on your site, click **Preview**.
1. To use a localized map on your site, edit the embed code.
Add the **lang** parameter to the copied code to specify the language and region of the map interface.
The parameter value includes:
- Language code: ru — Russian, tr — Turkish.
- Region code: for example, RU — Russia, TR — Turkey.
For example, **lang="tr_TR"** means the Turkish language used in Türkiye.
For Russia, the region and language of the map interface are determined by the user's [Yandex ID](https://yandex.com/support/passport/) settings. For example, if the user's language in Yandex ID is Russian and they are viewing a map in Turkey that was created somewhere in RU, then the map will display in Russian, but be localized to Turkey.
{% cut "Code example" %}
- The parameter is omitted:
```
```
If you don't specify the **lang** parameter, the region and language of the map interface are determined based on the map settings you had when generating the code.
- The parameter is specified (English for Russia):
```
```
Page URL: https://api-maps.yandex.ru/frame/v1/-/CVh7YBYg?lang=en_RU
If the **lang** parameter is specified, the region is dictated by its value regardless of where the map was created.
{% endcut %}
Supported values:
- **ru_RU**: Russian, Russia
- **en_US**: English, USA
- **en_RU**: English, Russia
- **tr_TR**: Turkish, Turkey
This parameter is similar to the "lang" parameter that is used in .
{% note info %}
For RU and TR, distance is given in kilometers. For the US, it's in miles.
