Create maps, drop pins, and so much more!
This plugin adds a new placemark post type that allows author to create and update map content.
The author interface includes:
Place
- An interactive map to drop and move pins
- A way to edit GPS by hand and make use of the geolocation on your mobile phone
- An editable set of drop-down lists for picking locations
- An alternative text area to describe the location
Mark
- An editable drop-down of marker types and associated icons
- An optional title
- Optional bubble text
- Optional link
** Optional ** The locations and marker types can be set by an administrator. This allow the you to:
- Customize the types of markers includeing the image
- Set a custom taxonomy for locations, allowing authors to zoom in to campus, building, floor, etc…
- Add image overlays to each location, including floorplans.
To embed the maps a simple short code is used. You can limit which type of placemarks will show up on each map.
A basic API allows you to pull out the data for other mapping systems.
