The Interactive Mapping plugin creates two new menus in the admin sidebar which will allow you to: 
* Add a map using co-ordinates from Open Street Map 
* Set a zoom level 
* Create a marker 
* Add the marker to any or all maps created 
* Uses short codes so maps can be added to any page or post 
* Uses category slug so you can create a map of a town say Lostwithiel and then create a category called Lostwithiel and only add markers using that category
In order to feature a marker on a certain map we have created a shortcode. There are instances where the marker might not show because of a wrong ID or category slug.

Bing Maps for WordPress allows you to create maps easily with a [bingMap] shortcode in your posts. You don’t have to worry about how the maps are displayed, the plugin takes care of that. You can create dynamic maps that allow your visitors to pan and zoom, or static maps that don’t have those features. You can create Road maps, Aerial views, Aerial views with roads marked on them, or even a 3D Birdseye view.
How to use – quick example
Add a [bingMap] shortcode into a post, configure it, and you’re done! Here is a quick example:
[bingMap location=”Beunos Aires, Argentina” zoom=”13″]
