We conclude our series of articles on creating a WordPress Plugin that use the TomTom Maps and Search APIs, adding the final touch to our plugin: intelligent routing that helps a site user generate driving directions to guide them from their present location to their chosen store location. Moreover, they'll be smart directions based on current traffic conditions.

In the fourth installment of our WordPress Plugin series we'll develop the public side of the Wordpress Plugin — the map that appears on the website itself — along with a Wordpress shortcode that lets site administrators embed the Plugin's map into any web page quickly and easily.

In the third installment of our WordPress Plugin series we'll build the Plugin admin components that take store addresses, convert them to coordinates with the Search API, and save the location data to a database.

In the second installment of our WordPress Plugin series we'll walk through creating the administrator-facing interface of the Plugin, saving our TomTom developer API key as a Plugin setting, and displaying a map in the Plugin admin panel.

Connecting your online presence to your stores, offices, or events in the physical world is easy with TomTom location technologies.
