Plugin Description
Why navigate your blog by search or menus? Display your blog on Google maps instead!
The purpose of Sightings is to allow you to link any of your post or page with a specific geographic location.
Sightings is an easy to use plug-in that utilizes the Google Maps v3 JavaScript API to let you geo-tag any post or page in your WordPress site.
Since version 1.3 you can even let your visitors submit their own geotagged places by dropping their own markers on the [sightings-map]!
Display all your recorded sightings on a larger map by using the shortcode: [sightings-map] on any post or page.
