## ማብራሪያ

OSM Categories embed an OpenStreetMap map to your page by using the OpenLayer API.
For every category in your blog a differnt layer on your map show markers for every
article with an geotag.
 You just have to save the lon and lan parameters in a custom
field. It’s possible to use different marker images for every category.

In your page just insert the shortcode: [osm-cats]

Open the plugin settings page for basic settings like:

 * map dimensions
 * map center point
 * initial zoom faktor
 * exclude categories
 * article custom field for marker lon and lat parameters
 * marker popup content
 * marker images path

It’s still BETA so please send me feedback and your ideas! Thanx a lot.
