I’m making a website for a freelance educator, who makes his lectures on 3-4 different places. I would want to have a google map attached on bottom of the posts where these lectures are occurring.
Is it possible to have a selection of 3-4 radio buttons with these places in the Admin Post-editor, which would insert the google maps iframe through the theme?
Thanks for the help.

There’s probably an easier way, but one way of doing this would be:
You may have to write a little code to determine the linked Location for a post, and call the WP Geo functionality to render the map, but it should be fairly straightforward if you have some coding experience.
EDIT
Ok, since you’re keen on custom fields, try this. Install the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, which’ll give you radio buttons for the custom fields (I don’t think it’s possible by default). Set up a new Field Group called “Course Details”, with a single field called “Location”. Associate it with a the appropriate entry type (page or post):
The field will appear in the entry editor like this:
To get the map to appear in the code, add something like this to the template:
The code’s just a quick and ugly example, but it should give you an idea of how to use the field. The URLs come straight from Google Maps – I just clicked the link icon, followed by “Customise and preview embedded map” to get the size I was after.
