FAQ

What is the Map View doing

Map views are a great way to point the map to a specific location.
Eg: Simply create a map, with 10 pins, and 10 map view, each view pointing to each pin, and load maps according to pins positions.

The map is not showing

Make sure under the setting page you have a valid Bing API KEY from here, and address

Address Suggestion is not working

Address suggestion for new pins is working only if you have a valid Bing Map API Key

Why pins are not showing on the map

First you have to create a pin under the ‘Pins’ tab, and after that, edit the map, and add the pin under the ‘Pins’ tab

Can I set different sizes to my map

Yes. Width and height can be specified with the dimensions specified in the settings page
Be aware when setting the map height to 100%, as it will not be seen on the map, but is there

What is the ‘HTML Attribute Class for?

This field can be used to customise the map if you have CSS knowledge

How can I have a pin with no address

Simply find the coordinates of your location, and paste them in the fields – Latitude, and Longitude, leaving the address input empty

How can I use the plugin to have auto-complete address fields in the Woocommerce checkout page?

The plugin has integrated Bing Map Autosuggest module for addresses.
Go to Settings page of the plugin and enable autosuggest. Make sure you have a valid api key, and woocommerce active.

Is this plugin working on multisites?

This plugin has never been tested on multisite
