Either

  1. use the default simple location data fields or metabox provided with this plugin
  2. or integrate with a number of geographic plugins

Default Location Fields

In event box

The “in event box” option will show the location fields below the basic event data, and before the repeating data.  It can be as simple as an address field, or you can open up the geo box and enter the latitude and longitude.

A Map for an event

The event info can show a map link
The event info can show a map link, based on the address or the geo tag

On a per event (or post) basis, the event info can show a map link, based on the address or the geo tag, or the of course the ical events list can offer map links based on the event location data.

Check the map lookup

Once an address has been saved, the plugin will offer a link to check the google map lookup.  Add more address information (or geo tags) to finetune the map lookup.
