Introducing: WPMU DEV Google Maps Plugin

Google Maps has become an important tool for pretty much everyone these days. Who doesn’t check their directions before they head out on a journey? Or use the Smartphone app to navigate around town?

But embedding it in your website has never been a 100% simple matter, especially for people not comfortable working with code. WPMU DEV’s Google Maps Plugin makes it incredibly simply to embed a map in your website. You don’t even need to visit Google Maps to do it!

Features

  • Simple Embed in your Posts and Pages with the “Add Map” icon in the visual editor
  • Full Mapping Widget
  • Advanced Settings
  • Compatible with WordPress, BuddyPress and MultiSite

The Google Maps icon appears in your visual editor:

Click it and the map options will pop up:

Insert all of your information, save the map and insert it into your post. A shortcode will appear:

And here it is on your page:

You can even get directions and use street view!

Of course, you need to be able to add your maps anywhere on your site so we’ve added a widget as well:
