    Hi,
    first of all thanks for your great plugin.

    I generate many waymark and insert them in articles.
    It seems that waymark are also directly accessibile from url /map/waymarkxxx-name/ and they are also indexed by Google.

    Is it possibile to avoid this situation? many times a search in google gives as first results the page containing the waymark andy only as second search result the article.

    thanks

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @sunlight1976,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    It seems that waymark are also directly accessibile from url /map/waymarkxxx-name/ and they are also indexed by Google.

    This is the intended behaviour, however I think ideally there would be a setting for this. I have added this to my To-Do list.

    Until then, you can prevent the search engines from indexing Maps using the robots.txt file (this file belongs in the document root of your site):

    User-agent: *
Disallow: /map/*

    I hope this helps, do let me know if you need further assistance.

    Reviews appreciated!

    Cheers,

    Joe
