Simple Static Google Maps WordPress Plugin
February 28th, 2010
Write a lot of bar or restaurant reviews or about anything that has an address? This WordPress plugin will allow you to easily place a quick loading google map at the end of any post or page when desired.
Usage
The plugin looks for a value in a custom field called static_map_address
If this field is left empty nothing will display. If you enter a full address into it a static google map of the address will display at the bottom of the post or page with a link that, when clicked, displays a small form so the reader can get directions to the location. Check out the example below on this post!

Just want to say this is a great plugin. Thank you for sharing.
Hey John, thanks a lot for the comment. I appreciate the feedback.
Hey, can I ask what script you’re using for the sliding tabs on the front page of your site? Coda Slider? I’m working on a site and can’t really find a good looking one that doesn’t cause conflicts with wordpress.
Hi Garrett,
Im struggeling to get the plugin working with a UK address. Can you help me at all?
Thanks,
Hey Phil, you’ll probably have to add the country in there too. Have you tried that?
Hello!
This seems like a really great plugin that does the essentials of adding a Google Map to a website. However, for some reason, when I try and enter my address in, this error message pops up
“Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /LINKTO/plugins/simple-static-google-maps/simple-static-googlemaps.php:1) in /LINKTO/wp-includes/classes.php on line 1586″
I am currently using WP 2.9.2 and the latest version of the plugin (Linux/PHP Version 5.2.12)
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Just to follow up on my previous comment: it seems that although the above error message appears, the data is actually ‘saved’ so the map(s) still show up… very confused now.
Came to this site by Google looking for answers on embedding maps on my page and just wanted to say thanks for your help!
Experiencing similar issue with Flick. It returns this error whenever I activate a plugin, edit posts or make a post.

Hi,
I think a found the problem and a solution for the “headers already sent” problem:
Seems that the file was create as an XML document with a UTF8 Header:
# od -c simple-static-googlemaps.php | head
0000000 357 273 277 < ? p h p \r \n / * \r \n P l
PHP does not like this, cause the file does not start with "<?php"
So solution is easy:
Create a new file, copy everything to that file with copy and paste and rename it to simple-static-googlemaps.php
