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
