For over a year now our Invisible Window team has built some very cool web sites using WordPress as the content management system. We’re pleased to announce our first publicly released WordPress plugin, Google Mapper. Installing this plugin allows a site admin to add locations, stores, dealers, etc. to the database and for these locations to be plotted using Google Maps on the front end. Custom icons and markers can be used, and a default zoom level can also be entered.
You will need to signup for a Google Maps API Key to use this plugin on your site.
