GeoContacts is a geoencoding address book plugin with Gravatar and template support. GeoContacts will display single contacts or your whole address book in your posts. No other address book plugin can do everything GeoContacts does. The Google API is used to geocode and Google maps are used to fine tune coordinate selection in the back-end.

GeoContacts is ideal to create review sites or for displaying your personal contact list.

With GeoContacts you can edit addresses and geocode in the administration interface. Then embed a list of contacts or a single contact in posts and pages using post anchors. No hard to use disappearing html code here. Anchors look like GEOCONTACT[], so you can use your favorite blogging client with ease.

GeoContacts features:

  • Google address geocoding
  • Point and click coordinate fine tuning
  • Gravatar support
  • Multiple templates per post support
  • hCard microformat template included
  • Optional top level administrative menus
  • Optional link urls to Google, Yahoo, and Live maps with your coordinates. Hot!
  • Display a Google map to your readers without loading Googles javascript
