Google Maps Plugin

The Google Map plugin adds a “Add Map” icon to your visual editor.  Once you’ve created your new map it is inserted into write Post / Page area as shortcode which looks like this: [map id=”1″].

It also includes a Google Maps widget for displaying maps in your site’s sidebar as well as the ability to create mashups from your maps.

Options

Select your preferred Google Maps defaults for the options below and click Save Changes.

Creating mashups of your maps

Mashups can be easily created by either using Map Query shortcode (for posts) or by setting them up in Widget Options (for widgets).

You need to have selected “Associate map with this post” in the Map Options window when creating a map for that map to be displayed using Map Query tag  shortcode.

Associate with a post

The following shortcode can be used for the custom query in the Google Maps widget to create mashups:

[map query=”tag=tagname”] – This shows all maps associated with any posts tagged with that tag on the site.  For example,  [map query=”tag=New York”] displays all maps associated with posts tagged New York.

Using a Custom query with the Google Maps widget

The following shortcodes can be used in posts to create mashups:

[map query=”all posts”]  – This shows all maps associated with any posts on the site.

[map query=”current posts”] – This shows all maps associated with posts currently on the site.

[map query=”random”] – This shows a random existing map. It always displays a single map.

[map query=”tag=tagname”] – This shows all maps associated with any posts tagged with that tag on the site.  For example,  [map query=”tag=New York”] displays all maps associated with posts tagged New York.
