FAQ

  1. Where can I find the short code builder?
    After plugin installation look for the ‘Google Map’ menu item on the left hand side of your WP admin. The ‘Shortcode builder’ item is just there. After generating the short code, copy the contents of the popup and paste int your post/page.

  2. How to make W3 Total Cache to work with your plugin?
    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-w3-total-cache-plugin-to-play-nicely-together

  3. Is your plugin compatible with jQuery Tabs or other tabs?
    Yes

  4. Where is plugin documentation?

  5. Do I lose my saved shortcodes after plugin update?

  6. Whats the correct way to define coordinates?
    The safest option are decimal coordinates:
    [a] 43.6387194445, -116.2413513485235
    but one can use practically any reasonable format, including the following:
    [b] N43°38 19.39, W116°14 28.86
    [c] 43°38 19.39N, 116°14 28.86W

I was looking for a Google Maps plugin, and found Comprehensive Google Map Plugin, which is sadly maintained no longer. This fork of it removes the reminders added by its current maintainer asking you to convert to a premium service, which dramatically adds to the user experience. Thank you for helping maintain this!
