Mapping the objects’ locations now is even easier than before. There is the additional possibility to bring your creativeness to life. WordPress Google Maps Easy plugin by Supsystic has the new option of choosing layer color (gradient).
This example shows one and the same map, but with different layer colors. You can test different variants and choose the best for your map.
For creating Google map and selecting different colors of the HeatMap Layer you need:
- On the left navigation menu find “Google Maps Easy” and click “Add Map”.
- Enter your Map Name.
- Go to “HeatMap Layer” tab.
- For adding heatmap layer you need to activate “Add Point” button and draw each point by clicking on your map. For removing points you need to activate “Remove Point” button and delete necessary point by clicking on it or you can click on “Delete Heatmap Layer” button to remove all Heatmap Layer points.
Important! Deactivate “Add Point” and “Remove Point” buttons when you added / removed all points you want.
5. To change heat-map color use Gradient tab. Click on “Add color” button and select color. You can add the next color the same way. If you click on “Clear” button all your selected colors will be removed.
6. It is also possible to customize rendering of your heatmap using such heatmap options as “Radius” and “Opacity”:
- Radius: sets the data point radius in pixels.
- Opacity: sets the heatmap’s opacity from 0 (no opacity) to 1 (maximum opacity).
7. Click “Save Heatmap Layer” button.
8. Customize other settings of your google map.
Important! Don’t forget to click “Save” button after changing all settings of the map plugin.
9. After saving the map there will be the shortcode under map live preview. Copy and paste the shortcode into your post or page and the map with all your settings will be automatically created on that page by the Google Maps Easy plugin by Supsystic.
