## Description

Adds a new field type to [Simple Fields](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-fields/)

The coordinates (lat/lng) of that location is saved
 and easily retrieved in for
example your theme.

Happy geocoding!

 * Each map can have it’s own:
    - zoom level
    - map type (Roadmap, Satellite, Hybrid, Terrain)
    - default location
 * Search location of address by using built in search box
 * Search location by enter its latitude and longitude coordinates
 * Supports Repeatable Fields – have any amount of maps connected to each post
 * From each saved position you can get
    - Latitude and Longitude
    - Address information, including store/shop name if that was what the user searched
      for when adding this location
    - Preferred zoom level

#### To add a map to a field group programmatically

Slug for this field extension is “googlemaps”.

Full example using register field group:

    ```
    <?php

    // Add a field group with a Google Map-field
    simple_fields_register_field_group('sf_map_test_field_fg',
        array(
            'name' => 'My map',
            'slug' => "mu_map"
            'repeatable' => 1,
            'fields' => array(
                array(
                    "type" => "googlemaps",
                    "slug" => "sf_map",
                    "name" => "Test map",
                    "options" => array(
                        "defaultZoomLevel" => 10,
                        "defaultMapTypeId" => "HYBRID", // ROADMAP | SATELLITE | HYBRID | TERRAIN
                        "defaultLocationLat" => 40.71435,
                        "defaultLocationLng" => -74.00597,
                        "defaultZoomLevel" => 10
                    )

## Changelog

#### 1.3.4

 * Use better default values so plugin does not break if you don’t enter a default
   zoom level or map type.

#### 1.3.3

 * Load scripts over HTTPS. Fixes https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-
   blocked-map-not-showing.

#### 1.3.2

 * Fixed strict standards warning

#### 1.3.1

 * Static maps did not care about any preferred zoom level that was set in GUI. 
   Now they do, funky funky!

#### 1.3

 * Add dropdown to select preferred zoom level for each map
 * Show notice in admin if user does not have Simple Fields installed

#### 1.2.2

 * Fixed notice error if no additional image sizes where used in the theme currently
   in use

#### 1.2.1

 * Added support for coordinates with negative latitude/longitude locations, like
   this one: 2.033630,-76.007050
 * Added version number to scripts/styles to cache bust.

#### 1.2

 * Added support for adding marker by entering its lng/lat coordinates. Valid formats
   are: 48.858278,2.294254 or 48.858278 2.294254
 * Made plugin translatable

#### 1.1.6

 * Fixed a bug with the latest version of Simple Fields

#### 1.1.5

 * It’s tricky to create to class because Simple Fields must be added/loaded already
   when creating the class. The modified solution works, but perhaps only on specific
   versions of PHP. Have to check this in more details…

#### 1.1.4

 * A marker/location can now be removed/unset.
    This is useful if you have a map
   field added to all your posts, but wan’t to exclude the map for a single post.
   This is also the default behavior, so a post don’t not risk being saved with 
   the wrong position (or at least the risk is lower).

#### 1.1.3

 * Autocomplete was out of control when using repeatable fields. It’s now back in
   control.

#### 1.1.2

 * The search box is now much better. It can search for Places, i.e. establishments,
   geographic locations, or prominent points of interest.
 * Return values now return much more info if the location was selected through 
   the new autocomplete place search. The return array now also have:
    - The name of the selected place
    - The formatted address of the place
    - A address_components-object thas has (according to Google): a “collection 
      of address components for this Place’s location”

#### 1.1.1

 * Modified the way args are passed with return_values, since wp_parse_args don’t
   work recursive.

#### 1.1.0

 * Added static maps to return values.

#### 1.0.2

 * Clearified the fact that you need the latest version of Simple Fields.

#### 1.0.1

 * Typos in readme

#### 1.0

 * Version 1. It works and it’s groovy!
