Simple to use, yet powerful, Google Maps plugin! Reviews say this is “Best Google Map Shortcode plugin”.
Put a Google map on your WordPress posts and pages simply and easily with a shortcode. Straight forward and easy to use! Ideal for contact page maps, maps showing delivery areas and many other uses!
This plugin will enable a simple shortcode that you can use for embedding Google Maps in any WordPress post or page. The shortcode uses the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/http-api/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress HTTPS API</a> and the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/handbook/transients/" rel="nofollow ugc">Transients API</a> for delivering cached Google maps with little to no impact on your site’s performance.
Maps are displayed with the [pw_map] shortcode:
<pre><code>[pw_map address="New York City" key="YOUR Map JS API KEY" geokey="YOUR Geo API KEY"]
</code></pre>
Google now requires that new accounts use an API key. You can register a free API key <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key#get-an-api-key" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.
You can have multiple map pins, simply add multiple addresses separated by semi-colon <code>;</code>
<pre><code>[pw_map address="Statue of Liberty National Monument NYC;Empire State Building, New York, NY, USA" key="YOUR Map JS API KEY" geokey="YOUR Geo API KEY"]
</code></pre>
<h3>All Shortcode Options</h3>

<li>key – Description: Your Google Maps API Key – Allowed values: valid key</li>
<li>geokey – Description: Your Google Geocoding API Key – Allowed values: valid key</li>
Why two key? You should restrict your API keys to avoid abuse. You need to use the geokey to allow the geocoding to work, enabled on the GeoCoding API, restricted to your server IP, and key 
enabled on the Maps JavaScript API restricted to your website domain(s).

<li>“greedy”: All touch gestures and scroll events pan or zoom the map.</li>
<li>“none”: The map cannot be panned or zoomed by user gestures.</li>
<li>“auto”: Gesture handling is either cooperative or greedy, depending on whether the page is scrollable or in an iframe.</li>
