    Hello,

    Another (basic) question : I actually have an external database (on another server that where i use wordpress), with a table and all the coordinates i would like to import as marker. I know could basically dump it (or even “cron” it) to use this source for adresses, but i’d like to maintain only one database with all theses adresses (the databases will be shared between multiple CMS/site, and is already shared between 2).

    Is there any tips about it ? Maybe with fitlers or any WP tricks i don’t know ? (i’m pretty new to WordPress).

    That would be possible with some of the filters that WP and the plugin provides, but you’d have to write the code for it. The best one would probably be bgmp_get-map-placemarks-return.

    If you’re making an HTTP request to the database, I’d recommend caching the results of it as well.
