1) Click on link "Map of all coordinates from Google" provided by the template in a list [2] or a category [3]
2) Click on "link" button in Google Maps
3) Customize embedded map
3) Copy & paste HTML to embed in website
This way we have made, for example, the page http://www.wikilovesmonuments.cat/andorra/

Subject: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Google Maps plugin for Wordpress
Hi Jan,
if it exists, it would probably help to simply add a piece of description on how to make this magic happen on the documentation page :) It is indeed always a combination of programming and documentation. I've seen several solutions over the years, and many times it broke halfway, so lets make sure there is one *good* solution well documented that will most likely survive the coming months :)
Best,
Lodewijk

We use it since last year, on this page: http://wikilovesmonuments.se/delta-i-tavlingen/hitta-monument/I cannot really see the need to make it as a plugin since it works great anyway.--Med vänliga hälsningar,

076-21227762012/8/25 Tomasz W. Koz³owski <odder.wiki@gmail.com>Hello all,
it has come to my attention (although I cannot find a mailing list
thread about it /yet/) that it was suggested that we should have a
Google Maps plugin for Wordpress displaying maps for a certain region
(a country/province/county/even municipality), with data being loaded
from our erfgoed database.
This being said, I have to admit that I am no good programmer, so I'd
like to point you to an existing example of such a solution, which was
developed last year by Nuno Tavares for use in the 2011 WLM in
Portugal -- see <http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.pt/monumentos.php>.
>From the source code I can see that the maps are being loaded in a
frame (<iframe />) with the help of a PHP script; but taking all the
technical details aside, this is a great tool with a wonderful
potential to be used on the national sites of the participating
countries.
So, my question here is: have you heard of such a plugin (it's always
safe to ask, I presume :-)? If it doesn't exist yet, is there a
volunteer here who might be willing to spend some time developing it?
(I have no idea how hard it might be to create it.) What do you think
about such a tool -- would you, as a national WLM organiser, use it on
your website? Please let me know!
Thanks,
Tomasz
