Template Tags

There are two theme template tags.

the_map

This is a general purpose template tag for use in any of your template files:

the_map($address, $zoom, $type, $width, $height, $map_id)

-$address: string: required: Any address that is recognizable by Google Maps. -$zoom: integer: optional: Any value from 0 (entire world) to 21 (very close up) -$type: string: optional: Any of the four values ROADMAP, SATELLITE, HYBRID, or TERRAIN -$width: integer: optional: The width in pixels of your map. -$height: integer: optional: The height in pixels of your map. -$map_id: string: optional: A unique string identifying this map.

the_map_cpt

This template tag is for use only in single-map.php, the template file for a Map custom post type. It accepts no arguments; instead it takes values from the fields in your custom post type.
