This plugin lets you save location information with posts, pages, and other WordPress objects. These can then be presented on interactive Google maps in many ways.

There are often two versions of the plugin available, stable and BETA. The BETA version includes all the stable version features, and also new features that need further testing.

Features

Geo Mashup, like WordPress, has a simple interface for basic features, templates for control of output, and APIs for endless customization options. Some popular features are:

• Use Google Maps v2 or v3, or OpenStreeMap as a map provider.
• Global maps can present your posts in many ways
• They can show just one category or custom post type, for example
• Clicking on a post marker shows a customizable summary of the post or page in an info window

• Location can be saved for all post types (including pages) users, and comments
• Synchronize Geodata with the Geo location mobile client and other plugins
• Support for both standard WordPress shortcodes and template tags to add maps to your site.
• Reverse geocoding to fill in address information for locations
• GeoRSS automatically added to feeds
• Attach KML files to posts and pages
• Connect category markers with a colored line

Comparison to Other Mapping Plugins

Geo Mashup was one of the earliest WordPress mapping plugins, first released in 2005. Eventually the author began using it for freelance jobs, which he still does. As such Geo Mashup is more tailored to customization than ease of use, but many user-requested features have been released over the years. Geo Mashup creates three tables to optimize location searches.

It's just crazy how many mapping plugins have sprung up since then. If all those developers had worked together we'd have just a few much better plugins. I've been guilty of not reaching out to other authors. If you are a developer interested in working together for a better WordPress mapping future, contact me via this site or my site and I'll work with you.

Mashup Ingredients

Geo Mashup combines WordPress, Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, and GeoNames to create a GeoCMS that puts you in control of all your content, including geographic data.

Donate to GeoNames if you can. It's one of the few free geocoding services that allows commercial usage, and it's been helping to power Geo Mashup for most of it's life.
