EasyMap.js

EasyMap.js was created because Google Maps embedding is not that easy as you or even Google might think it is.

Yes it's easy to embed a map using the provided iframe code, but making the map show the proper location, or the desired zoom level, or a marker on top of the wanted area is not really that easy to achieve.

This jQuery plugin gives developers extra programmatic control over Google Maps they want to embed on their sites.

By doing this, the plugin makes sure developers are fully content with the final map embedded on the site, controlling various facets of the map via easy to customize EasyMap.js parameters.

Features:

• Customize the map's location (via address or geographical coordinates)
• Set the map center point
• Control the map's zoom level
• Turn on/off double-click zooming
• Turn on/off mouse wheel scrolling
• Turn on/off default map UI
• Turn on/off map dragging
• Use custom map marker icons
• Customize marker size
• Snazzy Maps integration (snazzymaps.com)

What is new in this release:

• Added the ability to specify aelement to correspond to and interact with the map markers.
• Added the ability to enable DOM links for programmatic selection of map markers
• Added the option to pass in an address for automatic "Directions" link generation
• Added retina icon support
• Updated documentation

Requirements:

• JavaScript enabled on client side
• jQuery
