Description
gMapTip is a Google Maps Plug-in. With gMapTip you can easily add Tooltips to your post to let everyone know where he/she can find shops, restaurants, etz. in his/her environment or just show everyone where something in this world is located. For more information visit: http://www.gnomx.at/gmaptip
Installation
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
- Start writing posts with a much easier way to post Google Maps.
Usage
Select a word and click the button or click “Quick Local Search” in the menu. This Option will automatically add a local search Tooltip to the Word. (e.g.. “Starbucks” – will search all Starbucks Shops in the viewers city.) You can also Customize Local Search by clicking “Custom Local Search” where you can show everyone where to find a Starbucks somewhere else around the world.
If you didn’t use the Rich Text editor or any other Editor you can add a Map Tip by this shortcode: [gmt MAPLINKTYPE:MAPOPTIONS:] Link Text [/gmt]
- MAPLINKTYPE – For Local Search you use ‘ls’, for any other ‘ma’.
- MAPOPTIONS – For a Map showing the Viewers Location use ‘auto’ e.g.: ls:auto: or with a Search value different to the Linktext e.g. ‘ls:auto//Searchtext:’ Otherwise it looks like this: ‘ma:Latitude//Longitude//Zoom//MapType:’ e.g. ‘ls:53.4338464//-37.4566//12//hybrid’
