## Description

This plugin is for developers and is meant to be used to enable Google Maps integration.
While it does come with a default location, developers will want to feed the plugin
a nested array of location data. This data can be manually curated or retrieved 
through external means.

You need to use the filter `ab_google_maps_markers` and return the new nested array.

Example:

    ```
    function new_array( $markers ) {     $markers = (object) array( 
            array( 
                'lat' => '30.266132', 
                'lon' => '-97.745825',             'title' => 'Gingerman Austin',             'address' => '301 Lavaca St, Austin TX 78701'         ),         array(             'lat' => '30.2658',             'lon' => '-97.735691',             'title' => 'Easy Tiger Bake Shop and Beer Garden',             'address' => '709 East 6th St, Austin TX 78701'         ),     );     return $markers; } add_filter( 'ab_google_maps_markers', 'new_array' ); 
    ```

## Installation

 1. Upload `plugin-name.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory

 3. Get a Google Maps API Key from the [Google Developers Console](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key)
