WORKS WITH THE NEW VERSION OF GOOGLE MAPS
You can add a map using a shortcode.
You only need to:
-
Go to https://www.google.com/maps
-
Search the address you want to embed in your website. Drag and drop the map to adjust it to the section you want.
-
Copy the latitude and longitude.
-
Go to the page you want to add the map and paste this shortcode: [gmap_mc lat=”LATITUDE” long=”LONGITUDE”]
To keep in mind:
-
The default dimensions are 350×250
-
The defaults latitude and longitude point to Cuba
-
You can set your own dimensions using these parameters [gmap_mc lat=”LATITUDE” long=”LONGITUDE” width=”600″ height=”250″]
-
You can set the zoom of your map using the parameter mapwidth, like this [gmap_mc lat=”LATITUDE” long=”LONGITUDE” width=”600″ height=”250″ mapwidth=”3000km”]. The zoom is assumed to be in miles unless you specify km. The default zoom is 1500km
