Provides WordPress shortcodes for embedding Walk Score Neighborhood Maps in your posts and pages. Walk Score Neighborhood Maps display a map for any address that shows a property's location on a map, Walk Score (0-100 score measuring how walkable the location is) and nearby amenities. With the interactive map your visitors can create a Commute Report showing drive times to work to that location, explore lists of amenities by category (schools,restaurants, coffee shops, etc). The map displays a Google map by default, but offers your visitors options to use Street View (Google), Bird's Eye view (Bing), a walkability heat map and a 15-minute walkability zone (walkshed).

Features in Walk Score 0.5 series include:

  • Embed neighborhood maps in posts.
  • Set default sizes (small, medium or large) and format (vertical or horizontal)
  • Override default settings in the shortcode for a specific post

You'll need a Walk Score ID to use it this plugin. The ID is free for personal blogs, with paid subscriptions you can remove ads and outbound links.
