Adding a location to a post or page
When editing a post or page, scroll down and you will see a panel called ‘WP Geo Location’. This is where you can set the location for the post/page. There are 3 ways to set the location.
1. Entering the longitude and latitude manually
As you type the map will update to show the location.
2. Clicking on the map to position a marker
As you click the longitude and latitude fields will update. You can zoom in using the map controls to position the marker more accurately.
3. Search for an address or location
Enter a location into the search field and click ‘Search’. A marker will be positioned on the map to indicate the location. If the marker is not positioned correctly you can click on the map to reposition the marker or try another more specific search. The best way to search for address is to type the street address, a comma, the town, a comma, then the country.
Once you have set a location for your page and published it, if you set ‘Show Post Map’ in the Settings to ’At top of post’ or ’At bottom of post’ the map will automatically be displayed. If you set this to ‘Manually’ you will need at the [wp_geo_map] shortcode to your page content. In the rich text editor there is a WP Geo button you can press to insert this shortcode.
Adding a WP Geo widget
To add a widget, go to the Appearance > Widgets page in your WordPress admin. For more information on how to configure your widget, please read the WP Geo Widget page.
can I add multiple locations to a single page?
Unfortunately not. Current WP Geo only allows one location per post.
When the post doesn’t require a map, can I leave it out?
Yes, the post will only show a map if you set a location.
I’m using WP 3.1 and have some custom post types – the WP Geo admin fields appear in all the different post type Edit screens but i’m only outputting the Map on one of them. Is it possible to hide/disable the plugin for different post types?
Thanks in advance, and thanks for a great plugin!
Is there any possibility to read the exif data of the first picture of a post?
In that case mobile blogging with GPS enabled smartphones or travelblogging would be a bit easier, think about it like mobypicture.com does.
Thanks for the nice plugin,
It should be possible to do although I think this would be best created as a separate ‘helper’ plugin to extend the WP Geo functionality.
There is an issue for it in the issue/feature request list:

I have the same question as James J. Is it possible to hide/disable the UI on pages or post types?
