Description

As of January 2020, the free version of the Maps Marker plugin has earned its retirement: It will still be usable, but it we will only add occasional security updates, no new features and bugfixes. Our recommendation is to upgrade to Maps Marker Pro – read more in our sticky forum post & retirement FAQ at https://www.mapsmarker.com/news/leaflet-maps-marker-retirement

We are working hard on delivering the best mapping solution available – helping you to share your favorite spots and tracks.

Display locations and directions on your WordPress site. Organize customized icons in tidy layers on a variety of maps. Leaflet Maps Marker is your individual Geo-CMS that features highest security standards and a moral code.

With Leaflet Maps Marker, you can

  • pin your favorites places with markers,
  • search for locations by using geocoding providers like MapQuest Geocoding or Google Places
  • show directions for your locations,
  • choose from over 1000 free, customizable icons from Maps Icons Collection,
  • add popup description text or images for each marker,
  • organize your markers in layers,
  • choose an individual basemap, size and zoom level for each marker and layer map
  • display your maps by just adding a shortcode – e.g. [mapsmarker marker=”1″] – to posts, pages, widgets and templates
  • on the basemap of your choice: Open Street Map, Google Maps (road, satellite, hybrid, terrain), Bing (aerial, aerials + labels, road), Mapbox (road, satellite) and any custom WMTS-map

This plugin is built by a team with a vision. We follow a moral code and value the plugin’s security, your privacy and the documentation of our work. Read our mission statement here.
