Highlighted Features

Website visitors can add and edit their own locations
Allow Website Visitors to Add and Edit Locations Easily

Enable your website visitors to add and edit locations directly on your map. Clicking 'Add location' lets users place a marker and submit details, which await your approval before going live. The editing capability allows users to update their existing locations, ensuring the map always reflects the most current information.

Marker categories
Effortlessly Categorize and Filter Location Markers

Organize your map more effectively by grouping locations into marker categories, each distinguished by unique icons. This setup not only clarifies the map’s layout but also allows visitors to filter through different types. For added flexibility, each location can belong to multiple categories, ensuring that all relevant attributes are represented and easily accessible by users.

Custom Image as Map NEW

Upload any image and transform it into a fully interactive map — whether it’s an overlay, floor plan, event layout, game map, product diagram, campus guide, or seating chart — and allow users to place markers directly on top of it with the same powerful functionality as a traditional map. Add locations, display custom fields, enable filtering, and create an engaging, clickable experience tailored exactly to your use case.
Check out the demo here.

Advanced Filter Interface NEW

Create a filter sidebar that appears next to your map, allowing visitors to filter locations by any custom field you’ve configured. You can also add custom HTML content sections to display additional information or branding, giving users a clearer, more intuitive way to explore your mapped data.

Reviews

Love it
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This plugin is exactly what I need, the pro version offers me all the flexibility that I needed (2 personalized icons, automatically approved, updates to my mail, bulk import). The support is also excellent, very professional and friendly.

@tinevancorenland
Nice plugin and great support
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was searching for a plugin where users can easily add locations. This plugin is exactly offering what I was searching for. Beyond that, the support is excellent and especially very fast.

@kostenlosladencom
Excellent
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The only map plugin that makes life super easy, if you want your website visitors to be able to drop a marker on a map, fill out some additional information, and have it added to your core map with approval.

@5lions
Extremely Useful Plugin & Fast Support
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I mostly like the fact that this plugin does not require an API key to work, it is easy and simple to use, essentially plug and play. Thanks to the team.

@mariaojob
A great plugin and a great developer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A wonderful plugin that does everything I need. Easy to use and navigate, as well as to edit and customize the content. Easy for other users to add locations. All in all a good package! And what a wonderful developer! So nice and responsive, makes using the plugin trustworthy and if you run into issues, you're not alone 🙂

@leeviaroviita
Best leaflet map plugin to make a living map
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've tried many different plugins, but most of them use google maps or some other (not free) map systems where they normaly charge you by requests/visits. Here you will need the pro version to use it properly, but you won't have any other expenses other than that. It is totaly worth the money. You will be able to make a LIVING map that it is build by the visitors.

@marty333
Great plugin and great support
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really don't leave reviews very often but this plugin is exactly what I've been looking for. The free version gives you a bundle of useful tools and the Pro version gives you additional tools to make it your own. Support is quick and easy and a bug was fixed in 24 hours (and over a weekend!). Can't fault that service.

@tom29
Crystal Clear Map Plugin
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is not another map plugin. You don't have to install complex map frameworks, authorized and payable map hits, other plugins, etc. If you want to collect data (text, images and sound files) from registered or non registered WP users this is the right plugin. You have categorized data, custom map markers, data filters, custom fields, etc all in one map page. Easy to use and very friendly. Thanks Daniel for this great plugin!

@stom1
Just what I needed
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Open User Map has the exact functions I was looking to implement on my site. Easy to setup and have running right away. The developers are very helpful and working actively to update and add features and support the users in a timely fashion. Great job!

@dbark9
