I am pleased to announce that I finally released v1.0 of my new plugin "Leaflet Maps Marker" - Pin, organize & show your favorite places through OpenStreetMap/WMTS, Google/KML, GeoJSON or Augmented-Reality browsers.
For a demo please visit http://www.mapsmarker.com/demo
The Leaflet Maps Marker WordPress Plugin allows you to
pin your favorites places with markers,
use integrated address search (Google Places API) for quickly finding your places,
configure up to 10 WMS servers to display additional information from external geodata providers (like the European Environment Agency) on your maps
export your markers as KML file for displaying them in Google Earth or Google Maps
export your markers as GeoJSON file for embedding them in external websites or apps
export your markers as ARML for displaying them in the augmented-reality browser from Wikitude
export your markers as csv-file
option to set WordPress roles (administrator, editor, author, contributor) which are allowed to add/edit/delete markers and layers
option to add marker directly to posts or pages without saving them to your database
audit log for changes on markers & layers (saving first created by/on and last updated by/on info)
search within your marker list
option to reset plugin settings to defaults
option to change the default shortcode '[ mapsmarker...]'
dynamic preview of maps in backend (no need to reload)
WordPress Admin Bar integration to quickly access plugins features (can be disabled)
"OGD Vienna selector": if a place within boundaries of Vienna/Austria is chosen, OGD Vienna basemaps are automatically selected
integrated donation links to show your support for this plugin :-)
Technical details
WordPress Multisite compatibility
full UTF8-support for cyrillic, chinese or other alphabets on marker/layername and marker popup text

GeoJSON feeds for every marker and layer with JSONP support
use of WordPress settings API for storing options
TinyMCE editor on backend for editing popuptext
version check for minimum WordPress (3.0) and PHP (5.2) requirements
use of prepared SQL statements to prevent SQL injections
use of WordPress nounces on forms to prevent attacks and input mistakes
use of custom function names and enque plugin scripts/css only on plugin pages to prevent conflicts with other plugins
update functions implemented for smooth updates of the plugin
uninstall function to completely remove the plugin and its data (also on WordPress Multisite installations) Please let me know which feature you think is missing by adding your ideas at http://www.mapsmarker.com/ideas
Is there a way for the user to filter which markers are shown on the map? For Example, you have a map shown on your site for "OGD Vienna public toilets". There are alot of results shown on the map. What if the user is handicapped and wants to filter the maps so it only shows handicapped accessible toilets? Is there a way to do that? If not, that would be an excellent addon.
Currently filtering WMS layers on Leaflet Maps Marker maps is not possible. My approach would be to contact the WMS provider and ask him to deliver more granular WMS maps. Of course integrating this feature in Leaflet Maps Marker would also be possible technically but currently I am missing the ressources and know how to implement exact this feature. But as the plugin is open source and also available on github, please feel free to fork the project and send me some pull requests ;-)
