Adding a map to your posts / pages

Simply place the shortcode [osm_map] within your text, where the map should be displayed:
[osm_map Lat="36.5665" Long="126.9779"]
This will generate a map of Korea with standard zoom level and standard size.

Add a map with personal routes and tracks

Place the shortcode [osm_map] within your thext, where the map should be displayed and add the information about the track like:
[osm_map Lat="26.8828" Long="100.2255" gpx_file="http://www.MyDomain.at/wp-content/uploads/sample.gpx"]

If you want to add multiple tracks within one map just use the gpx_file_list tag:

[osm_map Lat="26.8828" Long="100.2255" gpx_file_list="http://www.MyDomain.at/wp-content/uploads/sample01.gpx,http://www.MyDomain.at/wp-content/uploads/sample02.gpx,http://www.MyDomain.at/wp-content/uploads/sample03.gpx" gpx_colour_list="green,red,blue"]

The track-file should be stored in the upload folder! These formats are supported:

  • GPX
  • KML

If you do not have any GPS device, you can use a generated / converted gpx-file or simply create it by your own: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<gpx version="1.0" creator="Turbo GPS" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd">
