Map Visualizer allows users to import csv files, and to create a map out of them using the plugin’s interface. 
After you have successfully imported (or created) a data source, you can visualise it on a map and add it to your posts/pages with a shortcode. 
All shortcodes can be constructed easily through the plugin’s interface.
<h4>CSV File Format</h4>
In order for the CSV file to be imported successfully, its format must comply with the following rules:
<ul>
<li>
The first row must contain all the Header names:
<ul>
<li>If you use geographical coordinates, the headers of the first two column must be named “Latitude” and “Longitude” respectively. </li>
<li>If you use addresses, the first column must be named “Address” and the plugin will geocode the data accordingly.</li>
<li>If you wish to use polygons, the first column must be named “Polygon”. Format of polygon data should be of Well-Known Text.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
The second row must contain the data type of each column:
<ul>
<li>Available data types include “INT”, “FLOAT” and “TEXT”.</li>
<li>For “Latitude” and “Longitude” headers, the data type to be used is “FLOAT”.</li>
<li>For “Polygon” or “Address” headers, the data type to be used is “TEXT”.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>shortcode format</h4>
The general format of this plugin’s shortcodes is [visualise]. Available attributes include:
<ul>
<li>“file_name” : The name of the file imported you wish to visualise.</li>
<li>“map” : The map type to be used for the visualization. You can choose between “Satellite” or “Streets” maps and the default one is “Streets”.</li>
<li>“type” : Type of visualization. Either visualise your data as “polygon” or as “marker”. Default type is “marker”.</li>
<li>“marker_type” : Choose between “simple marker” or “circle_marker” to be pinned on the chosen map. The default markers are “simple marker”.</li>
<li>“category” : Header Name of your file, which will be used to differentiate the data based on the marker_type chosen.</li>
<li>“colorant” : Color of circle_markers and polygons, used to differentiate the data.</li>
<li>“circle_radius” : Radius of circle_markers. The default value is 5, and it is advised to stay between a 1-10 scale.</li>
<li>“fill_opacity” : Level of opacity for circle_markers and polygons. The default value is 0.3, and it is advised to stay between a 0.1-1 scale.</li>
<li>“center_point” : An Address for setting the initial center point of the map.</li>
<li>“zoom” : Initial zoom of the map. Value 1 shows the entire world map and the default zoom used is 3.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Usage</h3>
= GeoSwitch Conditional Blocks =
GeoSwitch uses two shortcodes [geoswitch] and [geoswitch_case] to create conditional blocks. 
The [geoswitch] shortcode is used to enclose one or more [geoswitch_case] shortcodes with different conditions. The 
[geoswitch_case] shortcodes enclose content that will be shown if the condition is true. 
The following example illustrates a GeoSwitch conditional block that will show different contact information depending 
on the user’s IP location:
<pre><code>[geoswitch]
[geoswitch_case country_code="AU" state_code="NSW"]New South Wales Office[/geoswitch_case]
[geoswitch_case country_code="AU"]Australian Office[/geoswitch_case]
[geoswitch_case]International Office[/geoswitch_case]
[/geoswitch]
</code></pre>
The above GeoSwitch block will display “New South Wales Office” to users in New South Wales within Australia, 
“Australian Office” to other Australian users and “International Office” to any other user.
The [geoswitch_case] shortcode accepts the following attributes:
<ul>
<li><code>country</code> – comma delimited list of country names</li>
<li><code>country_code</code> – comma delimited list of country ISO codes</li>
<li><code>state</code> – comma delimited list of of state names</li>
<li><code>state_code</code> – comma delimited list of state ISO codes</li>
<li><code>city</code> – comma delimited list of city names</li>
<li><code>within</code>, <code>from</code> – This set of attributes is used to test for distances. Within is the distance in kilometers or miles and 
from is the centre point represented as “latitude,longitude” in degrees (example [geoswitch within=”10” from=”-33.7167,151.6”]).</li>
</ul>
The <code>[geoswitch_case]</code> shortcode matches only the attributes specified so:
<pre><code>[geoswitch]
[geoswitch_case city="paris"]You are in Paris![/geoswitch_case]
[/geoswitch]
</code></pre>
Will display “You are in Paris!” to any user with an IP location in a city named Paris, e.g Paris, France or Paris, Texas, USA. 
A <code>[geoswitch_case]</code> shortcode without any attributes always matches and can be used as the last condition in a conditional block 
to show default content. 
Content between [geoswitch_case] blocks can contain any markup including any other shortcodes, but conditional blocks should 
not be nested as this is not supported by WordPress. 
Content between the [geoswitch] and [geoswitch_case] shortcodes should be whitespace but is usually ignored:
<pre><code>[geoswitch] *DON’T WRITE HERE*
[geoswitch_case]...[/geoswitch_case] *OR HERE*
[geoswitch_case]...[/geoswitch_case]
[/geoswitch]
</code></pre>
<h4>Informational Shortcodes</h4>
In addition to the conditional block GeoSwitch offers the following shortcodes to display user information:
<ul>
<li><code>[geoswitch_ip]</code> – The user’s IP.</li>
<li><code>[geoswitch_city]</code> – The user’s city name.</li>
<li><code>[geoswitch_state]</code> – The user’s state name.</li>
<li><code>[geoswitch_state_code]</code> – The user’s state ISO code.</li>
<li><code>[geoswitch_country]</code> – The user’s country name.</li>
<li><code>[geoswitch_country_code]</code> – The user’s country code.</li>
</ul>
If the IP of the user cannot be geo located these shortcodes return ‘?’
<h4>Debug Shortcodes</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<code>geoswitch_setip</code> – Override the user IP. Affects shortcodes after this one. 
Usage:
[geoswitch_case ip=’10.0.0.10′]
</li>
</ul>
For debugging whole websites the user IP can be set globally in the admin settings for the plugin.
<h4>Filter Hooks</h4>
Geoswitch supports the following filter hooks: 
 geoswitch_skip_ip_check 
Allows to programatically skip the ip check. If the hook callback function returns true the MaxMind libraries are not used to check the IP and the 
default content (if configured) will be displayed. 
Usage:
<pre><code>function skip_ip_callback( $skipCheck, $userIp ) {
 if ( some_custom_test($userIp) ) {
 $skipCheck = true;
 }
 return $skipChek;
}

add_filter( 'geoswitch_skip_ip_check', 'skip_ip_callback', 10, 2 );
</code></pre>
