MapPress Google Maps Plugin
Add Great-Looking Maps and Driving Directions to Your Blog
The MapPress plugin makes it easy to add Google Maps and driving directions to your blog. Just type some addresses in the post edit screen and click the ‘insert’ button. The plugin will insert a great-looking map with markers and directions right into your post.
MapPress was specifically developed to be easy to use. It’s targeted at non-programmers, not map nuts. If you have any suggestions or need help see the FAQ or Contact Me.
