<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>
