<p>Map Visualizer allows users to import csv files, and to create a map out of them using the plugin’s interface.<br />
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.<br />
All shortcodes can be constructed easily through the plugin’s interface.</p>
<h4>CSV File Format</h4>
<p>In order for the CSV file to be imported successfully, its format must comply with the following rules:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The first row must contain all the Header names:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you use geographical coordinates, the headers of <em>the first two column</em> must be named “Latitude” and “Longitude” respectively. </li>
<li>If you use addresses, the <em>first column</em> must be named “Address” and the plugin will geocode the data accordingly.</li>
<li>If you wish to use polygons, the <em>first column</em> must be named “Polygon”. Format of polygon data should be of Well-Known Text.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>The second row must contain the data type of each column:</p>
<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>
<p>The general format of this plugin’s shortcodes is [visualise]. Available attributes include:</p>
<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>

<h4>Intro</h4>
<p>With this plugin a user can easily add location (latitude, longitude) meta data to a page, post or a<br />
custom post type. This plugin adds a meta box with an Google Map to the post editor. Users can easily<br />
drag and drop a marker on the map to save location meta data for a post.</p>
<p>There are quite a few Google Maps plugins available in the WordPress Plugin Directory. Why should you<br />
use the Pronamic Google Maps plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Google Maps API version 3</strong><br />
Most of the available plugins still use the Google Maps version 2 API. To use the Google Maps v2 API you<br />
have to require an API key and include this in the plugin configuration.  The Pronamic Google Maps plugin<br />
uses the Google Maps version 3 API. Wich no longer requires an API key, so you don’t have<br />
to configure this plugin.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Shortcode</strong><br />
Easily integrate a Google Maps in your post content:</p>
<pre><code>[googlemaps]
[googlemaps static=true]
[googlemaps static=true label=M]
[googlemaps width=200 height=200]
[googlemaps new_design=true]
</code></pre>
<p>Also easily integrate an Google Maps mashup in your post content:</p>
<pre><code>[googlemapsmashup query="post_type=company&nopaging=true" map_type_id="satellite"]
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>No extra tables</strong><br />
Some plugin create additional tables in your WordPress database to store additional data. In many<br />
cases this is not necessary, it’s only pollutes your database. WordPress offers enough <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields" rel="nofollow ugc">functions to<br />
store additional data</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Custom Post Types</strong><br />
A lot of the WordPress plugins are developed before WordPress 3 was launched. These plugins not<br />
always use the new features of WordPress 3. Many plugins only focus on posts and pages, but not<br />
on other custom post types. This plugin does!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Mashup</strong><br />
Easily create an Google Maps mashup to show all your posts on Google Maps. You can use an very powerfull<br />
pronamic_google_maps_mashup() function or the shortcode. Both methods allow you to pass <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Parameters" rel="nofollow ugc">custom<br />
WordPress query parameters</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>No notices or warning</strong><br />
Pronamic is one of the few companies that develop all WordPress plugins in debug mode. This results<br />
in high quality plugins with no errors, warnings or notices.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Custom Post Types</h4>
<p>The nice thing about this plugin that developers can configure on what post type the meta box should be visible.<br />
Developers can activate the meta box for every custom post type they registered with the<br />
<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type" rel="nofollow ugc">register_post_type function</a>.</p>
<p>For example: if a developer registers a custom post type for <em>real estate</em> it is very easy to activate and<br />
manage location data for that post type. It comes in handy for all kind of custom post types!</p>
<ul>
<li>Projects</li>
<li>Real estate</li>
<li>Restaurants</li>
<li>Accommodations</li>
<li>Hotels</li>
<li>Ships</li>
<li>Ports</li>
</ul>
<h4>Microformats</h4>
<p>The plugin uses the latest <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/geo" rel="nofollow ugc">GEO microformat standards</a>.</p>
<pre><code><div class="geo">
    <abbr class="latitude" title="37.408183">N 37° 24.491</abbr> 
    <abbr class="longitude" title="-122.13855">W 122° 08.313</abbr>
</div>
</code></pre>
