Using GET variables to Control your Map
This article coversΒ Linking to a Marker from Another PageΒ with theΒ WP Go Maps Pro Add-on
The Following Plugin/s need to be installed and active
- WP Go Maps
- WP Go Maps Pro Add-on
If youβd like to link to one of your Maps, centered on a specific Marker, from another web page you can use GET variables in a link to call and control your Map. When loaded, the map will center on that markerβs location and the zoom level will be changed if you set that variable as well. Note that the receiving page must include a Map (can be either a shortcode or a widget).Β
To create your link youβll need theΒ Marker IDΒ for the marker you want to be centered on the Map. You can find theΒ Marker IDΒ by opening the Map containing the Marker
WP GO Maps -> Maps (edit your chosen map) -> scroll to the bottom of the map editor
Now that you have yourΒ Marker ID, you are ready to create the link to open the Map.
Usage Example
The following GET variables can be assigned:
- markerid: The ID of the marker. Once set, the map will automatically centre on this markerβs location and the infowindow will open.
- mzoom: The zoom level (0 β 21). Once set, the map will zoom to this level.
