About
WordPress map plugin for Google Maps, OpenStreetMap & Mapbox with custom markers, filters, searchable listings and store locator.
Security History
What It Does
WP Maps lets you embed interactive Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, or Mapbox maps on your WordPress site with custom markers, filterable listings, and a store locator. It is designed to turn location data into a searchable, browsable map rather than just a static pin on a page. In practice, you can build everything from a single-location contact map to a multi-category business directory without writing code.
Who It's For
This plugin fits small to mid-sized businesses that need to display multiple physical locations, such as retail chains, real estate agencies, restaurant groups, dealership networks, healthcare providers, and tourism or event directories. It is also a reasonable choice for local service businesses that want a store locator with category and distance filtering out of the box. Non-technical site owners who want a Google Maps or OpenStreetMap solution without juggling raw API code are the primary audience.
Who Should Skip It
If you only need a simple contact-page map with a single pin, a lightweight plugin like Leaflet Map or even a hand-rolled iframe will do the job with less overhead. Developers who already use a custom mapping stack, or sites that only need map embedding inside Elementor or another page builder's native widget, may find the feature set heavier than necessary.
The Bottom Line
WP Maps is a capable, actively maintained multi-provider map plugin that delivers strong value for site owners who need filterable location listings across Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, and Mapbox. Its weakest signal is the thin support thread history, so if 24/7 responsive help is critical you may prefer the higher-install WP Go Maps. For most multi-location businesses, though, the feature set and recent update cadence make it a sensible pick at an overall quality score of 81.8 out of 100.
Related Plugins
Pick WP Go Maps if you want the safest mainstream choice, since it has 300,000 active installs, a higher overall score, and a longer track record of community feedback.
Pick WP Store Locator if store locator is the only feature you need, because it is purpose-built for that workflow and tends to be simpler to configure than a general-purpose map plugin.
Pick API KEY for Google Maps if you already use another map plugin or theme that only needs a managed Google Maps API key, since this is a utility plugin rather than a full mapping solution.
Pick iframe if you only want to embed a map from Google or OpenStreetMap without any markers, filters, or listings, because it avoids the complexity and weight of a full directory plugin.
Pick Leaflet Map if you prefer an OpenStreetMap-first, developer-friendly approach and do not need built-in store locator or directory features.
