Create maps, drop pins, and so much more!

This plugin adds a new placemark post type that allows author to create and update map content.

The author interface includes:

• A way to edit GPS by hand and make use of the geolocation on your mobile phone
• An editable set of drop-down lists for picking locations
• An alternative text area to describe the location

Mark

• An editable drop-down of marker types and associated icons
• An optional title
• Optional bubble text

** Optional **
The locations and marker types can be set by an administrator. This allow the you to:

• Customize the types of markers includeing the image
• Set a custom taxonomy for locations, allowing authors to zoom in to campus, building, floor, etc…
• Add image overlays to each location, including floorplans.

To embed the maps a simple short code is used. You can limit which type of placemarks will show up on each map.

A basic API allows you to pull out the data for other mapping systems.
