While it should continue to work OK it you have simply installed and are using a previous version of WP Geo, if you have customised your templates or used any filters you may need to update your code to work with this version of Google’s API. Please <a href="https://github.com/benhuson/WP-Geo/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">submit any bugs or issues here…</a></p>

WP Geo

Adds location maps to your posts, pages and custom post types.

Carsten Bach

<p>With WP Cloudmade Maps you are able to add static and interactive maps to your website using Cloudmades designable OpenStreetMaps-Data.<br />
This way you can add maps that fits your webdesign. Choose from over 50.000 <a href="http://maps.cloudmade.com/editor" title="Have a look at the style editor and find your style by color or tag" rel="nofollow ugc">ready-to-use map styles</a> or create your own with the CloudMade Style Editor.</p>
<p>The Plugin comes with</p>
<ul>
<li>a widget to show your last geotagged posts with static maps,</li>
<li>a shortcode for static maps</li>
<li>two shortcodes for interactive maps</li>
</ul>
<p>and countless attributes, to fit the maps your ideas.</p>
<p>All shortcodes are accessible via an user-friendly tinymce button and a lightweight configuration interface for editors.<br />
As Administrator you’re able to set everything as defaults, so your editor just have to ‘click & drop’ a new map inside a post, page or a custom_post_type at all.</p>
