<p><strong>Stellar Places</strong> is an intuitive plugin for easily creating, managing and displaying locations using Google Maps.</p>
<h4>How?</h4>
<p>Using this plugin is simple:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install the plugin</li>
<li>Activate the plugin</li>
<li>In the WordPress admin, click on ‘Places’</li>
<li>Click on ‘Add New’ and create a new place.</li>
</ol>
<p>Once you have added a new place, you will be able to access the listing view and single location view, both of which will automatically have maps associated with them.  If you wish to insert a map in a custom location, just use the <code>[stellar_places_map]</code> shortcode (see FAQ section for more details).</p>
<h4>Why?</h4>
<p>There are plenty of Google Maps plugins for WordPress, but very few actually use custom post types to manage locations. Additionally most don’t have a simple and intuitive interface.  Let’s take a look at some use cases where Stellar Places shines:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Store Locator</strong> – If you own a business that has multiple physical locations, this plugin will automatically feature a list of all store locations as well as provide a page for each store location, which is good for local SEO.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Local Events</strong> – If your organization sponsors or holds local events, this plugin makes it easy to display them all on a map, or even display subsets based on categories.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Let us how know how you are using Stellar Places!</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Live map preview</li>
<li>Drag and drop marker relocation</li>
<li>Location pages for better SEO</li>
<li>Unlimited locations and maps</li>
<li>Mobile friendly, responsive maps</li>
<li>Easy map embeds via shortcode</li>
<li>Clean, well written code that won’t bog down your site</li>
</ul>

Stellar Places

I've used this plugin many times on multiple sites.  It has worked as expected every time.

Easily create, manage and display locations in a way that makes sense.

<p>This plugin is intended for travel blogs, hiking blogs, where you want to show a map of a location you are writing about.</p>
<p>It’s really simple. It just adds an extra field in the WordPress admin editor, and if you enter GPS coordinates, it will add a map in the bottom of the post.</p>
<p>Acceptable types of GPS coordinate formats:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>N 45° 46.000 E 014° 12.000</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>S 45° 46′ 1″ W 014° 12′ 1″</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>+46° 22′ 38.11″, -96° 9′ 55.90″</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>N 45.766667 E 014.200000</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>-45.766667,014.200000</p>
</li>
</ul>

Posts on a map

Add a custom field for GPS coordinates in the post editor and show a map under under the content of the post.
