Description
Add beautiful maps to your WordPress pages with ease. Customize location, map styles, marker and more. Include the map as Gutenberg block, WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer) content element or shortcode.

This plugin comes with sane predefined settings. Adjust them to your liking. The marker is optional and is not displayed by default.
