This plugin lets you save location information with posts, pages, and other WordPress objects. These can then be presented on interactive Google maps in many ways.

Examples

There's a community sourced list of examples in action.

Key Features

Geo Mashup, like WordPress, has a simple interface for basic features, templates for control of output, and APIs for endless customization options. Some popular features are:

• Use Google Maps v2 or v3, or OpenStreetMap as a map provider.
• Global maps can present your posts in many ways They can show just one category or custom post type, for example Clicking on a post marker shows a customizable summary of the post or page in an info window
• Location can be saved for all post types (including pages) users, and comments
• Synchronize Geodata with the Geo location mobile client and other plugins
• Support for both standard WordPress shortcodes and template tags to add maps to your site.
• Reverse geocoding to fill in address information for locations
• GeoRSS automatically added to feeds
• Attach KML files to posts and pages
• Connect category markers with a colored line

If you need features that are aren't listed here, check the documentation and the tag reference.

Comparison to Other Mapping Plugins

Geo Mashup was one of the earliest WordPress mapping plugins, first released in 2005. Eventually the author began using it for freelance jobs, which he still does. As such Geo Mashup is more tailored to customization than ease of use, but many user-requested features have been released over the years. Geo Mashup creates three tables to optimize location searches.

It's just crazy how many mapping plugins have sprung up since then. If all those developers had worked together we'd have just a few much better plugins. I've been guilty of not reaching out to other authors. If you are a developer interested in working together for a better WordPress mapping future, contact me via my site and I'll work with you.

Support

The author monitors WP Questions, and there is a public Google Group.
