I scraped my data from YellowPages.com and I've inserted the following code into my post template.
Expertise: [expertise]
address|title|width|height
[street]
[city], [state] [zip]
Phone: [phone]
And it spits out the following: http://drsintulsa.com/uncategorized/ubben-dermatology-clinic/
Anybody know why?
You need to insert your data into the [/wfrgooglemap] tags. So in your example, it should be something like this:
Expertise: [expertise]
[street], [city], [state] [zip]|[name]|400|300
[street]
[city], [state] [zip]
Phone: [phone]

Thanks for the fix. It totally worked. The only problem I had was with the marker. It shows the marker with the name and street on the same line.
As seen here: http://www.reviewredding.com/greene-robert-a-md
I'm sure there's some little thing I can do that will fix it, but I don't know it. Is there any help you can provide me?
Thanks in advance.

Also, the map is not interactive at all. You can click the marker, but it doesn't zoom in or out, print out, or go to google.

Does anyone know how to increase the interactivity of the map.
1) Get Directions
2) Zoom in/ Zoom out
3) Click for Larger Map

It's not interactive. It's simply a map.
The "title" portion supports HTML so if you need a linebreak, add a <br/> tag.

thanks. are there going to be upgrades to the map that would make it interactive?
I'd like to go on record to say that I would like it on the wish list.

We will definitely add it to the list of potential improvements to v.3

I agree, the map should at least be able to zoom in and out, and the ability to get directions.

Can you cut and paste the address that you get in the post into google maps and see if it renders right? I think that error is basically saying the location can't be found.

it was happening off and on. For awhile, it would give the error, then later it would display the map. Seems to be an issue with how many times googlemaps api is getting hit. they have a limit, but I am nowhere near that limit.
Do all sites maps generated by the plugin hit the same place? I know we needed our our api key, but maybe the plugin is hitting google elsewhere and collectively hitting their servers as one. just a thought

No each site with its own Google key uses that to access the Google API so that can't be it. Let me do some more research on it I'll see what I can find.

Any idea what is causing this error? It shows all the code as well as some load errors etc. All kinds of good stuff. However when you click on the listing and go to that post the map shows up just fine.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Viper,
The category page that lists posts (and homepage too) does not parse out the html, it just displays text.
Not sure if all themes are like this though, but many. Try a few different themes to see if it happens on each

I just wanted to confirm that the [street] is actually something called [BusStreet] on my CSV file, so that is what I would want to put in there, correct. I would want to make it look something like this;
[wfrgooglemap] [BusStreet], [BusCity], [BusState}..............
Can anyone confirm that?
PS I haven't yet got the google map to work right.

Only if the data in BusStreet is appropiate street data for google maps. TIP: just try searching in google maps using a selection of data from your dsv file and see if it works.

Whatever the CSV name is, it doesn't matter.
the string NEEDS to be:
address(1), Address(2) [optional], City, state, zip | Second_Option | Third_option | Fourth_Option
