VenoMaps

Installation

Upload the plugin folder venomaps to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

FAQ

Does this plugin support Google Maps?: No. VenoMaps was built specifically as a robust, lightweight, and privacy-friendly alternative to Google Maps, relying on OpenStreetMap and OpenLayers for core functionality.
Do I need an API key to use VenoMaps?: No. The default map styles are loaded without the need for any API key, registration, or cost. If you wish to use premium or custom map styles from third-party services like Maptiler or Stadia Maps, you will need to obtain a key from those services.
Can I use it to create a Store Locator?: Yes, absolutely. With features like CSV import for multiple locations, marker clustering, and a search field, VenoMaps is a perfect tool for building a « Store Locator » map or any map with multiple points of interest.
How do I place a map inside my template file?: To display a map outside the post editor or widgets, use the following PHP code inside your template file:
echo do_shortcode(‘[venomap id= »xxx » height= »xxx »]’);
Replace the shortcode parameters with the ones generated by the plugin on the map’s edit page.

A map plugin which is not bloated and stuffed with settings you don’t need. Nice work.

This plugin is very intuitive. Of course it is not complete, but a lot depends on how you use it. I give 5 stars for ease of use.
