Post Google Map Plugin for WordPress

Wordpress, Wordpress Plugins No Comments

Google Map Widget Plugin

This plugin allows you to add multiple addresses to a post/page and have those addresses automatically plotted on a Google Map in a sidebar widget. This is a great plugin to help localize your stories, events, news, etc.

Hovering over a plot will display the title of the post, address, and also a thumbnail from the post if any images exist. Easily add and delete a single or multiple addresses to each post/page. Viewing a single post/page displays only addresses attached to that post/page, viewing anything else will show the most recent plots across your entire site.

You can also set a custom title and description for each address saved. If no title or description is entered the post title and excerpt will be used.
