v1.1 UPDATE: Okay, I lied about future development. Support has been added for any number of GPS links. Be aware, the plugin will simply try to convert any string with “::” in it to a GPS link, so if you’re in the habit of using that in your posts, I recommend finding the declaration for the $searchBit variable in the PHP, changing it to whatever delimiter you like, and adjusting your post syntax accordingly.
v1.0: 
This plugin will replace -one- properly formatted string in a post with a Google Maps link to the included GPS coordinates. The map will load in a new window/tab at zoom level=14, normal map view.
I wrote this to use when posting from my Nokia N810 handheld with WordPy, making it very easy to add a Google Maps link to my current location without using the wp-admin site, which is slow and clumsy on the handheld’s browser.
Features are minimal (only does the one thing, really), and usability could definitely use a bump. Even so, no additional development on this plugin is planned; I would suggest users looking for more comprehensive functionality take a look at WP Geo.
USAGE: 
You will need three bits of info: 
 A) GPS North-South coordinate 
 B) GPS East-West coordinate 
 C) Link text
Then, type that info using the following format into your post:
:gps:C::A::B:gps:
For example, if you wish to post a link to a map of GPS coordinates 32.970705,-116.955461 as reported by your GPS device/handheld/etc, simply type the following string into your post:
:gps:And this is an example link.::32.970705::-116.955461:gps:
And the plugin will convert that to the following markup when WordPress renders the post:
<a href='http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&z=14&geocode=&q=32.970705 ,+-116.955461' rel="nofollow ugc">And this is an example link.</a>

Your search is over, the work Jordy is doing to make GPT useful for websites will save you so much time. I'm only just getting into the more advanced stuff, but you can bet that it's possible with GPT, then it's being worked on with this plugin. Tons of functionality in the free version. Pro I'm certain he could charge 5 times as much for, so it's the least you can do to donate to the immense calories I'm sure it takes to keep his brain working at the pace AI is developing. The world is a significantly better place already from your work, keep it up, and let us know if there's anything else we can do to help!


This is the framework every website needs


I've been looking for an easy-to-use, lightweight plugin that would allow me to control the lightbox of certain areas of content.



With its easy-to-configure panel, the plugin does wonders and improves my site's UX.



Highly recommend!


A great, easy to setup plugin!

The elegant lightbox built for photographers. Fast, responsive, and displays your photos beautifully with EXIF data and maps. You'll love it! 💕
