CodePeople Post Map for Google Maps Premium

Maps that follow WordPress content

CodePeople Post Map for Google Maps places maps in posts and WordPress templates using locations associated with that content. On a single post, a map can show the post’s 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. Maps can use any public post type and display a map for each post on non-singular pages.

Choose which locations appear

• 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, and display multiple maps per post or page using the same points.
• Create legends from categories, tags, or taxonomies to control which points are visible.
• Generate points from picture metadata or geolocation supplied through the WordPress App.
• Show the visitor’s location and refresh it at intervals.

Map display, routes and shapes

Settings cover map width and height, margins, alignment, map type, language, drag behavior, controls, zoom, and how many points appear. Available views include roadmap, satellite, terrain, and hybrid. Dynamic zoom can fit all points in view; when dynamic zoom is disabled, you can set a fixed zoom value. Routes can use travel-mode options, and maps can also include drawn shapes.

Information bubbles can be hidden or opened by default. A map can appear directly in a post or page, or be represented by an icon. If a point has no associated image, its information window can use the post’s featured image. Links can provide directions, Google Maps, or Street View.

Premium and Developer capabilities

Premium includes advanced point management, filtering, routes, search, display controls, imports, and dynamic location utilities. The Developer edition includes Premium features and adds contact forms linked to map points. Form submissions can trigger notification emails, and points can have unique or global email addresses assigned to them. Point descriptions support Contact Form 7 shortcodes, and pictures associated with points can be used as map icons.

Shortcodes and location data

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. Maps can be inserted in posts, pages, templates, widgets, and other supported WordPress locations. Points can be exported or imported through CSV or KML, and KML layers can be loaded from files.

Setup

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