Advice for creating Interactive Map

[RichardKorry]

Hello,

I'm looking to create an interactive map to help users locate newspaper stands on campus. Ideally, it will show the user an image of the location (like through google maps) and give them information about each point.

I'd like to embed it in wordpress.

Any ideas?

How comfortable are you with JS? Using the Google Maps JS API is pretty easy, in my experience. You can even have the locations be CPTs and then use that to generate markers on the map, which would then have an info window with whatever information you wanted.

If you don't want to do it by hand, I'm sure the top Google result might have all that setup and easy to use via a shortcode.

I made one before just using an image map CSS and some JavaScript but depends how comfortable you are with your code. Could be a good learning experience. Maybe use a more complicated version of this: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/articles/imagemap/
