I have been using MapPress Maps for WordPress for years and it has made a tremendous difference on my website. People often say the best feature of the website is the maps! Whenever I have a question or issue, the developer is right there to help out. It is definitely the best plugin I have!

We have been using MapPress for years and find it easy to use and a great addition to our website. The developer also provides great support and put out and update in less than 24 hours when an issue was discovered. We found that their documentation made it easy to install and easy to add maps to our pages, even a novice had no problems. Give it a try if you want to show your location on your site.

I've worked with this plugin and its developer for many years. The plugin just gets better. I highly recommend it for location markers based on post entries. Nothing better.

For years I use this plugin on my website. Never had a problem and a bonus is that it uses openstreetmaps. Super!

I tried a few of these Google Maps plugins and this is the best imho. Easier setup. One API key. Finding your locations when making a map is the best feature. The search bar works great for adding. We finished the initial map of 20 locations very quickly. You can easily customize the look of the POI dialogues, which we love. Great product. Highly recommend. 5 star.
