This is a simple tool for working with Google Maps. It helps you to resolve addresses and find out where places are.

There are two variants of it:

• A single HTML file that you can drag directly to your browser on your own machine
• A WordPress Plugin of the same tool (shown on this page)

NOTE: I have some information that the plugin does not work in all installations. I suspect that it has trouble with very heterogenous environments, with lots of other plugins. As this is a typical WP environment, I need to make it work. I think I may have been able to reproduce it, and I will work on fixing it.

Further Note: I was unable to find anything amiss with the plugin. One of my test sites had an incorrect theme, in which the pages were being generated with get_the_content(), as opposed to the_content(). This caused the content filter to be skipped. It’s possible that the person reporting “doesn’t work” also had a broken theme, or is just a dork that wanted to ding the plugin for whatever reason.

As always, please contact us if you find any problems or have any questions.

If you want to see this in action as simply as possible, simply drag the “index.html” (Won’t work -but save the file on your local machine) file to your browser on your local machine. It has been designed to operate completely independently, and without a remote server.
