How Does it Work?

Easy Place Linking

We want to make it really easy for site owners to identify real places associated with their content. Our plugins provide wizards that make adding places that authors are writing about as easy. We also make it easy for your readers to engage those places with our Place Card Map, and Interactive Category Map. Just put one or many place tags in any post or page like this…
and you get this…

Smart Map Widget

The map widget shows places you have posted about on a map. When your users go to specific category pages, it intelligently filters showing only the places associated with the category. Now people who come to your site can quickly see your stomping grounds in one simple view, we even link each place back to the post for you. Now your posts are “on the map”.

Category Tag

The category tag lets you filter out places of  a certain type an then put a map of only those places on any post or page.
Category maps can easily be placed on any post or page which makes it easy to create a directory of quickly. When you publish a category tab it creates an interactive map anywhere you put it. Click on marker items to interact with the map! Like this:

Location Based Shortcodes

Location based searches is the ability to search places via a shortcode and the location and distance using a shortcode. This approach uses the Haversine formula to determine the places that fall inside of a search radius. Thi approach is really helpful for creating neighborhood guides where you would like to limit distance that places will be shown.

Location With Category Filtering

Just like the name implies, location with category searches add the filter of category to the location search. Of course just like with all category tags custom post types can be used.

Custom Themes

Included with the plugin are five ready made themes that can be used with the plugin. Use them as they are or edit them using the customization guide included. Included themes like Froggy, Sky, Pie Fight and Placehound act as a tutorial to help you customize your own custom theme.


Custom Locations

Some place locations, especially those outside of Canada, US and Western Europe, commonly can have required address components missing. The geocoder and places manager requires that some level of detail be given regarding the address or commonly places will overlap each other because the exact location is not specific enough. To deal with this problem the ability to override the geocoder has been provided.

User Metadata

We have added the ability to add custom data that you may want featured with the pace such as the Facebook page or a menu page. Its easy to add any name value pair or link when you create a place.
