This release adds support for the Belorussian language thanks to Ilyuha.

It also includes a WordPress hook ‘wpgeomapjs_preoverlays’ which can be used to add extra javascript to a map via a plugin or your theme’s functions.php file. This hook enables you to add additional overlays to the map such as custom tiles – tutorial coming soon…

This update has a minor bug fix and adds support for Russian language.

• Fix for GUnload() and GBrowserIsCompatible() being called when not available/required.
• Russian language added – translation by Fat Cower.

Some extra features…

You can now add width and height parameters to the categoryMap() function and shortcodes, and the Danish language has been updated.

Shortcode

You can specify either a width or height parameter (or both). If you just enter a number, the width will be set in pixels. You can also specify a percentage as illustrated below:

[wp_geo_map width="50%" height="200"]

Category Map

With the category map function, you can pass width and height arguments as a string:

$wpgeo->categoryMap('width=75%&height=200');
