I’ve released a new Google Maps Embed plugin for WPMU (and should work fine for WordPress as well). It uses the link generated by a Google map instead of the API key, for those users or those situations when using an API key is overkill.

/ September 28, 2009Great plugin, we`ve been using it with excellent results. Only one question I have, when the maps are displayed they come up as satellite view, how can I render them as street view ?
Thanks again for this great plugin.

/ September 29, 2009in the lib/shortcodes.php file, look for:
&t=h,
Remove that and it will default to map view. Now that you’ve brought it to my attention, I’ll probably add a parameter to the config screen so that you can choose which view, but might not get to that until later this week.

/ September 30, 2009Excellent, thanks.
Got one more think, one street that I display has an apostrophe and it looks like the maps can’t really point on it.

/ October 6, 2009Can you give me an example address to play with? I can’t think of any apostrophe streets off the top of my head. I’m getting ready to release the next version that includes a quick tag, as well….
