- With simple custom fields (address in a text field) you can show up to 3 markers on a map.
- When using a repeater, the nr of markers on a map is endless.
- Popups (tooltip style) with location name, location extras info, location logo, and URL (https:// or tel:+)
- Works with custom fields from ACF, SCF, ACPT, Meta Box, and Modern Fields.
- Type of data accepted: custom field coordinates, custom field address text, multiple locations (field sets and repeaters).
- When using a custom field as the source, every map with an empty field is automatically hidden on the front-end.
Cache
- The plugin is built in such a way that no exceptions for scripts and URLs are required for commonly used cache plugins, such as LiteSpeed, WPCompress, FlyingPress, and others. The plugin takes into account placement in accordions, popups, and deferred scripts.
Limitations
- You can display locations from a query item (for example, in a flyout, popup, or on the post itself).
- However, the plugin is not intended to display all locations of all posts in a query on a map.
- The block can show multiple locations in a repeater on a map (unlimited).
Documentation
- Both the plugin itself (Settings / Guide) and the documentation page on our website offer documentation.
- The documentation also provides ready-to-use CSS snippets to customize the appearance of the map’s front-end.
FAQs Insight Maps plugin
Is it really posible to show all my maps with Google API and without recurring costs?
Yes, the Insight Maps plugin is using OpenStreetMaps and you don’t need a Google API or any other API at all. Just install the plugin, set a map and you are done.
The Pro version of Insight Maps works with repeaters. You can use as many locations as you want. Theoretically, the number is unlimited, but in our opinion, the map becomes unusable if you add too many.
Well, you are in luck. The Insight Maps (OpenStreetMaps) plugin is especially built for WordPress Gutenberg. A good fully dynamic map block is missing in most Gutenberg builder collections, and if they have one it’s usually very limited.
If you edit a page, especially with more maps and slow hosting, rendering slows you down while the shown maps have no use at all, while you are editing. Professionals like to work with a fast and clean workflow.
Oh yes. It’s the best way to show more markers on a map.
The easiest way is using text fields for the address (the plugin translates the address to coordinates), name of the location, extra info and the url. For showing the image you’ll need an image field.
If you don’t need those extra fields in the popup, just skip them: an text field for the address and a text field for the location name will do.
Work with all custom field plugin is too big of a promise… We built and tested the plugin with text, textarea en image fields from the following custom fields plugins:
- ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)
- SCF (Secure Custom Fields)
- ACPT
- Meta Box
- Modern Fields
Of-course. That’s why we created the plugin. It works perfect with the WordPress Gutenebrg core blocks and with builders like Kadence, GenerateBlocks, Stackable, aBlocks, GutenKit, PostX, etc.
The Insight Maps plugin has two versions; free and pro. Just purchase the license (see this page), download and install the pro version (keep the free also) and enter the key on the settings page: all Pro functionality is activated.
