CBX Map for Google Map & OpenStreetMap

Description

CBX Map for Google Map & OpenStreetMap makes it easy to add responsive maps to your WordPress website.

Choose between Google Maps and OpenStreetMap, create reusable map locations from the WordPress admin, or display a map directly with a simple shortcode.

The plugin is designed to keep map creation simple. You can search for a location, set the marker position, configure the map, and copy the shortcode with just a few clicks.

OpenStreetMap is supported as an alternative to Google Maps and can be used without a Google Maps API key.

Gutenberg, Elementor & Widget Support

CBX Map integrates with popular WordPress content-building tools.

• Elementor — Add maps using an Elementor widget.
• Classic Widget — Add maps through the traditional WordPress widget.
• WPBakery Page Builder — Add maps using a WPBakery element.

Shortcode

The simplest way to display a saved map is:

[cbxgooglemap id="123"]

Replace 123 with the ID of a map created using the CBX Maps custom post type.

Display a Saved Map

Once you create a map from the WordPress admin, copy its shortcode and place it anywhere that supports WordPress shortcodes.

Example:

[cbxgooglemap id="123"]

Only the id attribute is required when displaying a saved map.

Display a Map Without a Saved Map

You can also create a map directly from shortcode attributes without creating a CBX Map custom post.

Example:

[cbxgooglemap lat="23.8103" lng="90.4125"]<h3>Shortcode Attributes</h3>

* id — Saved CBX Map post ID. Optional.
* maptype — Map type. Default: roadmap. Available values: roadmap, satellite, hybrid, terrain.
* width — Map width. Numeric values are treated as pixels. Percentage values such as 100% are also supported.
* height — Map height in pixels.
* zoom — Initial map zoom level. Default: 8.
* lat — Latitude of the map location. Required when using a map without a saved map post.
* lng — Longitude of the map location. Required when using a map without a saved map post.
* heading — Title displayed in the information window.
* website — Website URL linked from the place name in the information window. Leave empty to disable the link.
* address — Content displayed inside the information window.
* scrollwheel — Enable or disable mouse-wheel zooming. 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled.
* showinfo — Show or hide the information window. 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled.
* infow_open — Control whether the information window is initially open. 1 = open, 0 = closed.
* mapicon — Custom marker icon URL. Leave empty to use the default marker.
