Bing Maps for WordPress makes it easy to embed maps in your posts
Rich Gubby has developed a plug-in for WordPress that makes it easy for the user to embed Microsoft Bing Maps in a blog post.
The plug-in takes care of all the presentation aspects. User gets the ability to “create dynamic maps that allow your visitors to pan and zoom, or static maps that don’t have those features.”
All kind of maps made available by Bing Maps service are supported.
To embed a new map, a user can just put in a shortcode like this:
[bingMap location="Beunos Aires, Argentina" zoom="13"]
This would show an interactive map that would look something like this:
This is a screenshot and not an actual interactive map!
