## Description

MapTip is a jquery tooltip plugin. It is used to display map of a city or place,
when mouse is hovered over the city name. It very easy to use.
 The basic tooltip
facility is borrowed from tooltipster wordpress plugin. Link to the Tooltipster 
Jquery Library: http://iamceege.github.io/tooltipster/ URL for Tooltipster plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/tooltipster/

it has 10+ features in the base tooltipster plugin.
 example animation, position,
title, text, image, speed, delay,icon ,theme, trigger etc.

After installing the plugin, you have to enclose the city name within opening and
closing shortcodes like below:
 [MapTip]Mumbai[/MapTip] [MapTip]Jakarta[/MapTip]
is capital of indonesia. We were travelling from [MapTip]New Delhi[/MapTip] to [
MapTip]Kolkata[/MapTip]

The plugin refers to Overpass api for finding latitude and longitude from the place
name.(http://overpass-api.de/)
 You can find more about Overpass API (formerly known
as OSM Server Side Scripting) at : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API
If the place name is misspelled or it doesn’t exist in openstreetmap database, the
tooltip shows the message “Map Not Found”. You can use animation values ‘fade’, ‘
grow’, ‘swing’, ‘slide’, ‘fall’ You can override default theme (i.e colors, borders
and general appearance). There are four themes available “tooltipster-light” , “
tooltipster-noir” , “tooltipster-punk” and “tooltipster-shadow” There are other 
options available like delay, animationduration etc. For using them, you have to
pass them as arguments to the shortcode like: [MapTip animation=”swing”]Mumbai[/
MapTip] is capital of Maharashtra

[MapTip theme=”tooltipster-noir”]Pune[/MapTip] is the second most big city of Maharashtra

[MapTip animation=”grow”]new delhi[/MapTip] is capital of India

[MapTip]Chiplun[/MapTip] is a place in konkan region.

The map shown in the tooltip has some default zoom factor. You can override the 
zoom factor by specifying
 it in the shortcode.

[MapTip zoom=”10″]Chiplun[/MapTip] is a place in konkan region.

My friend stays in[MapTip]London[/MapTip].

For getting the map images, Mapquest staticmap api is used.
 For more information
about staticmap refer: http://www.mapquestapi.com/staticmap/ Both openstreetmap 
and MapQuest have “Fair Usage Policy” in place , so if there are too many requests
from a single IP, that IP is temporarily blocked.

Known issues:
 If there are multiple places with the same name, all the records 
are returned by the API and the first one is selected for displaying the map tip.
So, you may not see the map of the place you intend to see.
