Adding an embedded Google Map is a must for most websites. I have created a simple way to add your map with just a simple shortcode. Despite the name there are some nice features that makes this plugin simple but powerful.
Features Included
- Simple to use with just a shortcode.
- No admin settings to mess with. All features are set within the shortcode.
- Can be styled with CSS
- Optionally link your map marker to your Google business listing directly so your business name is shown.
Usage
The basic shortcode to use is
[vsgmap address="street address to display"]
See the FAQ for full usage options.
