MapifyPro allows you to create and maintain as many maps as you need. It organizes these maps in a library that you can add to, or edit at anytime.
To begin, click on Maps from your Dashboard – Add New.
Name your map and fill in the desired fields
Map Options:
- Map ID – The map will be assigned a number only after the map is published. This number will be used in shortcodes when placing a map on a page or post.
- Mode – Select from the dropdown menu whether you would like to display a Google map or a custom image.
- Enable Search – This is where you can determine to include search capabilities.
- Enable Filters – Here you can specify if you want to include a dropdown menu containing pre-defined filters.
- Default Pin Image – Upload a default pinpoint image here. You can have as many unique pins as you like on every map. If you don’t assign a pin image to a location on a map, it will use this as the default pin image.
- Enable zoom – In Google mode, you are able to “lock” the map so it is unable to zoom in or out.
Image Mode Settings:
- Map Image – When using custom image mode, you need 2 images: one that appears by default, and one that appears when the user zooms in closer. The default view is the smaller image, the zoomed in view is a larger version. Each image must have the same aspect ratio for zoom to properly function. You may upload both images here.
- Tooltip Background Color – Use this color picker to select the color of your tooltip.
- Popup Background Color – Use this color picker to select the color of the popup gallery.
- Map Background Color – If a transparent PNG image is used for your map, you can use this color picker to select the color of the background for the map. (PNG recommended)
- Map Drag Momentum – This controls the “drag” feel of the map which is similar to Google Maps. Leave blank for default. Higher number means a higher “drag” feel.
Google Map Mode Settings:
- Mode – Select the Google Map style here
- Search Radius – Specify in miles the search radius in which location results will be displayed.
- Center Map on Search Results – Enable a function that will auto-center your map on search results. this is useful if planning to have your map displayed on a mobile device.
- Main Location – This setting is for creating locations. However, you can use this to automatically center your map on a specific location.
- Initial Zoom – Set your default zoom level – this is helpful if you want to zoom in on a specific region or country/state.
Be sure to Publish your map.
