FAQ

Do I need any key or any registration to show maps in my blog

No!

I do not see my gpx file / marker file in the map ?

I’m very satisfied with the OSM plugin. It offers great performance, especially considering that it’s free. What stands out the most is the support. They are always quick to respond and genuinely helpful whenever issues come up. Highly recommended!

I use this plugin to geo-tag my campground and attraction reviews. It works very well for this and is free. I figured out how to make modest modifications to the map presentation as well as adding my own custom icons. It does have some quirks but nothing that prevents it from meeting my needs.

There are not so many plugins that allow complete and easy implementation of OSM with custom markers and descriptions. I LOVE it!

Nicht nur schöne Karten mit Tracks und Waypoints, sondern auch geolokalisierte Posts sind im Handumdrehen erstellt.Für alle die viel unterwegs sind und davon auch berichten, ganz einfach ein supercooles Muss!

What the title says, we have been using the plugin for over a year, and had issues with recent updates. After raising the issue, it was acknowledged and addressed in a few hours. Our maps all show fine again, it looks great.
