WP_GMaps2

This plugin allows the integration of Google Maps on your pages or posts using the WordPress Editor (TinyMCE). It supports multiple maps on the same post/page and within each map you can set many options, like the position of the marker, controls, icon of the marker, InfoWindow with Tabs with HTML support, etc. Give it a try.

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Upload the directory wp_gmaps2 to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Insert your Google Maps API key under ‘Plugins->WP_GMaps2 Configuration’ menu option in WordPress. You can get this key at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html
4. You are ready to do some magic

Which version of the Google Maps API is used in this plugin?

It uses the Google Maps API version 2.

Why do I have to get a Google Maps API key?

In order to use the API, Google requires that you register a key for your site domain. In the version 3 of the API this is no longer necessary.

This plugin will support the version 3 of the Google API?

Yes, I’m on it. However this version doesn’t support yet some of the features that we have on the version 2 (like the tabs on the InfoWindow). But soon this plugin will be release, probably with the name WP_GMaps3.

1. 

   To insert a map, press 1 (kitchen sink) to show the advanced bar and then press 2 (google maps) to open the Google Maps Window.

2. 

   In the Google Maps window you can insert or update your map.

3. 

   The final result.
