Google map for campgrounds

[herbreeves]

My event calendar is for trail races. Many of the trailheads where the start of the race is do not have an address. Is there a way to add lat/long coordinates to get the map to show up correctly?

herbreeves,
Thanks for reaching out! You could easily add some custom fields so users could submit this information, however you’d still have to customize the template files and the meta walker to modify the map code to use these custom coordinates instead of the address.

Since this is quite a complex customization, your best bet might be to just add a URL field and allow users to submit the Google Map link themselves. Hopefully that gets you pointed in the right direction, but please let me know if you have further questions. Thanks! 🙂

Thanks, I’ll go the URL route!

Great! Thanks for confirming that this got you sorted. Since it looks like you’re all set, I’m going to mark this thread “Answered” and close it out.

By the way, if you have a minute or two, we would love it if you’d write a few words for us here: http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/the-events-calendar?filter=5

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Cheers,
Casey
