Pronamic Google Maps plugin is the best WordPress plugin for Google Maps
“With this plugin a user can easily add location (latitude, longitude) meta data to a page, post or a custom post type. This plugin adds a meta box with an Google Map to the post editor. Users can easily drag and drop a marker on the map to save location meta data for a post.”
The following code snippet allows you to show World map as default view, instead automatic scaling to the markers
if(function_exists('pronamic_google_maps_mashup')) { pronamic_google_maps_mashup( array( 'posts_per_page' => -1 /* show unlimited posts */ ) , array( 'height' => 395 , /* maps height */ 'map_options' => array( 'zoom' => 2, /* showing World map as default view */ 'minZoom' => 2 /* the smallest zoom number - World Map */ ), 'map_type_id' => 'roadmap' , 'fit_bounds' => false, /* prevent automatic scaling (fitting bounds) */ 'marker_options' => array( 'icon' => 'http://google-maps-icons.googlecode.com/files/photo.png' ) ) ); }
We are using Google Maps mashup to show maps from posts with map height set to 395px
