One of Classipress best feature is the inclusion of Google Maps. Once the user entered a street address, his posting will automatically show a map based on the given location. This is really a cool and useful feature specially for Real Estate Classipress site as users would no longer have to include a map image on their real property ads listings. This feature has made Classipress one of the best wordpress classifieds theme there is.

I prefer to have the Classipress Google map to default in hybrid mode because it is more visually appealing than the simple map. The hybrid map is a combination of a map and satellite imagery that which I find better graphically and visually. It is also very useful for Classipress Real Estates Classifieds sites because it can provide a bird’s eye view of the listed property at first glance. However, the Classipress Google map default display is on simple street map.

Making your Google map default in hybrid mode is easy as it can be done by just adding a simple code. Go to your dashboard’s theme editor and edit the theme functions (functions.php). Find this code;

map.setCenter(point, 13);

And just add this, G_HYBRID_MAP to make it look like this

map.setCenter(point, 13, G_HYBRID_MAP);

And your Classipress Google map is now on hybrid map default. Have a great day.
