Customization

The PrettyRoutes plugin allows you to add as many routes as needed to multiple maps throughout your site. Distinguish each route by color, allowing your viewers to choose the best directions to their destination, ponder the best tourism locations, and more.

Easy Setup

You simply enter the starting point, and the destination by entering each address, or double clicking directly on the map (perfect for locations without a physical address) and Pretty Routes handles the rest. Distinguish start and end points by placing unique pinpoint graphics on each location. The possibilities are endless, and go a long way in adding that custom touch to your maps.

For each map, you can specify the zoom level. Default settings automatically zoom into the map to properly display all routes that you¡¯ve included in your map (as shown in the examples above). However, you can also specify the zoom distance and location in order to focus the map on any location, and from any distance. This is perfect if you want to focus on a specific starting point, such as the famous coastal road trip on California¡¯s Interstate 101.

Adding new maps and routes is simple and immediately familiar to WordPress beginners and experts alike. Adding multiple unique maps of any size is handled by a simple custom shortcode.
