How Did They Do This?

5 replies
Hi!

I'm looking at this tour website and it has a feature that I like.

On their home page they have a "Create Your Tour Guide" and a photo list of attractions. You pick the ones you want and then click on "Get Your Guide" and it creates a map (I think Google) with your choices pointed out.

Is this a complicated script (total techno-phobe here) or is this something that's easily done with some plug in?

Hoping someone will be able to help me.

Thanks!

    wew... yes, absolutely what you mean is complicated.

    i haven't heard any plugin like that. you should combine database with google map API. well, it's too custom.

    i suggest you to hire web dev

    without having seen the page, that sounds to me like a custom application built around the Google Maps API. so that means it's complicated. however, there probably are plugins around for wordpress sites that allow a user to pull up a Google Map based on a supplied address, so it may be possible to find something like that if you Google "Google Maps API plugin". but most likely it would require some amount of fiddling to get it to do anything close to what you want.

      Yeah, I figured it would be something complicated. Drats!

      In case you want to see what I am talking about, this is the site:

      I don't even remember how I found this site as I have not heard of this place before.
