Google Maps Travel Route

Google Maps Travel Route enables you to easily insert Google Maps along with a travel route, tour, etc in your WordPress website. Via dashboard you can add,edit or delete locations or edit the options for the map itself. The map can be inserted in pages, post or sidebars via shortcode. A widget is also available. You will only need to have a valid Google Maps API key which you can get here.
