With the NearBy Amenities Listing On Google Maps extension for WP MAPS PRO, you can easily display nearby amenities (like restaurants, ATMs, gas stations, parks, etc.) around any selected location on Google Maps. These amenities will appear both as interactive map markers and in a listing format — just like your assigned locations or places.
Requirements:
Before starting, make sure you have installed:
1. WP MAPS PRO Plugin
2. NearBy Amenities Listing On Google Maps Extension
If you haven’t installed them yet, please download, install, and activate both before proceeding.
