UberMenu 3
The UberMenu Google Maps shortcode allows you to insert geocoded map locations into your menu. This map will automatically be recentered when the submenu is opened.

To use Google Maps you need to include the API, which can be done by enabling Load Google Maps API in Appearance > UberMenu > General Settings > Assets. Disable this if you’re not using it.



The included Google Maps Shortcode produces a simple map with a single marker. For more advanced map functionality, check out WP Google Maps or Comprehensive Google Maps Plugin
