About Geolocation

The Geolocation plugin allows WordPress users to add location information to their posts, either by geotagging the post or by adding a featured image with GPS coordinates. Visitors can then see a short description of the address and view the post's exact location on a map. The plugin supports both Google Maps and Open Streetmaps, but a Google Maps API key is required for the Google Maps option.
