A simple short code for embedding Google Maps in any WordPress post or page.

== Description ==

This plugin will enable a simple short code that you can use for embedding Google Maps in any WordPress post or page. The short code uses the [WordPress HTTPS API](http://codex.wordpress.org/HTTP_API) and the [Transients API](http://codex.wordpress.org/Transients_API) for delivering cached maps with little to no impact on your site's performance.

Maps are displayed with the [pw_map]] short code:

`[pw_map address="New York City"]`

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

1. Can I change the width or height of the map?

Yes, simply supply a width and height parameter:

`[pw_map address="New York City" width="400px" height="200px"]`

You can also use percentages for heights:

`[pw_map address="New York City" width="50%" height="200px"]`

2. Can I disable the scroll wheel?

Yes, simple add `enablescrollwheel="false"` to the short code.

`[pw_map address="New York City" enablescrollwheel="false"]`

3. Can I disable the map controls?

Yes, simple add `disablecontrols="true"` to the short code.

`[pw_map address="New York City" disablecontrols="true"]`

4. How are the maps cached?

Maps are cached using the WordPress [Transients API](http://codex.wordpress.org/Transients_API), which allows for very simple database-based caching.

Each time you display a map, the address specified is used to generate a unique md5 hash, which is used for the cache identifier. This means that if you change the address used for your map, the cache will be refreshed.

5. How often do caches refresh?

The maps are cached for 3 months. Caches are automatically cleared (for individual maps) when you change the address in the short code.

6. Can I change the zoom level?

Yes, simple add `zoom="12"` to the short code.

`[pw_map address="New York City" zoom="12"]`

7. Can I change the map type ?

Yes, simple add `zoom="12"` to the short code.

`[pw_map address="New York City" type="SATELLITE"]`
