Introducing: WPMU DEV Google Maps Plugin
April 25, 2011
Google Maps has become an important tool for pretty much everyone these days. Who doesn’t check their directions before they head out on a journey? Or use the Smartphone app to navigate around town?
But embedding it in your website has never been a 100% simple matter, especially for people not comfortable working with code. WPMU DEV’s Google Maps Plugin makes it incredibly simply to embed a map in your website. You don’t even need to visit Google Maps to do it!
Features
- Simple Embed in your Posts and Pages with the “Add Map” icon in the visual editor
- Full Mapping Widget
- Advanced Settings
- Compatible with WordPress, BuddyPress and MultiSite
The Google Maps icon appears in your visual editor:
Click it and the map options will pop up:
Insert all of your information, save the map and insert it into your post. A shortcode will appear:
And here it is on your page:
You can even get directions and use street view!
Of course, you need to be able to add your maps anywhere on your site so we’ve added a widget as well:
WPMU DEV Members can download our new Google Maps plugin straight away. Or if you’re not a member you can buy it for just $39.
Because this plugin/widget is provided free of charge, I simply ask you to link back to Pressography.com in a post on your blog, or from one of your sites. It doesn't need to be anything fancy - just a note saying that you're using it, and whether or not you like it. However, there is no requirement that you do this, you're free to use the plugin regardless.
This is very good and useful plugin. Many people need this. Thanks for sharing.
your post is very helpful.thank you
