CodePeople Post Map for Google Maps Premium

Connect WordPress content to maps

CodePeople Post Map for Google Maps places maps in posts and templates using locations associated with content. On a single post, a map can show its geolocation and, optionally, recent posts from related categories. In templates, markers can represent posts on the page; hovering over a marker highlights the related post.

Premium and Developer are the paid editions. Premium adds point management, filtering, routes, search, show controls, imports and dynamic location utilities. Developer includes Premium functions and adds contact forms, notification emails, point email assignments, Contact Form 7 shortcodes and point-associated map icons.

Choose points and control visibility

• Load points from specific posts, categories, tags or all posts. Post search can use location information and descriptions.
• Associate multiple points with a post or page, then show the same points on multiple maps.
• Create legends from categories, tags or taxonomies to control which points appear.
• Generate dynamic points from image metadata or WordPress App geolocation.
• Show the visitor’s location and refresh it at intervals.
• Associate maps with any public post type and show a map for each post on non-singular pages.

Routes, shapes and map tools

Draw routes and shapes, with travel-mode settings for routes, or add a place search box. Add links for directions, Google Maps or Street View. Sidebar widgets and marker clusters let maps display groups of locations.

Shortcode attributes can load points by category, multiple categories or all points. You can also reference a configured map by its map ID. Attributes can set dimensions, alignment, zoom, map type, language and other display options, allowing maps in posts, pages, templates, widgets and other supported WordPress locations.

Set map presentation

Configure width, height, margins, alignment, map type, language, drag behavior, controls, zoom and the number of points shown. Choose roadmap, satellite, terrain or hybrid views. Dynamic zoom can fit all points in the view; when it is disabled, set a fixed zoom value.

Show or conceal information bubbles, open a bubble by default, or display an icon in a post or page instead of the map. If a point has no associated image, its information window can use the post’s featured image.

Developer contact tools

Developer adds forms linked to map points and can send notification emails from submissions. Assign a unique email address to each point or use a global address. Point descriptions can include Contact Form 7 shortcodes, and images associated with points can serve as map icons.

Import and export location data

Export or import points through CSV or KML, and load KML layers from documents.

Install and configure

Install the selected paid edition in WordPress, then configure map options and point locations. Add maps to posts or templates with the add-on shortcode, or use the available settings to associate maps with content. Set up filters, routes, clusters, imports, widgets or Developer contact-form options as needed.
