Overview

This plugin provides easy to use functionality to create maps, layers and pins. Pins can be given an address or post code which is geocoded and plotted on a Google Map. Pins can be grouped into layers and each map can be assigned multiple layers.

You can toggle each layer on or off within the map interface.

Pin colours can be individually configured or globally overridden by the layer colour.

KML layers can also be attached to each map.
