<h4>Storytelling</h4>
<ul>
<li>Map automatically follows your narrative as readers scroll</li>
<li>Pauses when readers explore the map themselves, resumes when they scroll on</li>
<li>Click any marker to jump to that part of the story text</li>
</ul>
<h4>Maps</h4>
<ul>
<li>Upload a GPX file from any hiking, cycling, or fitness app</li>
<li>Elevation profile with distance and gain/loss stats</li>
<li>Street, Satellite, Topographic map styles plus more from other providers (with API keys)</li>
<li>Fullscreen mode, layer switcher, and optional GPX download for readers</li>
</ul>
<h4>Markers</h4>
<ul>
<li>Place waypoints anywhere in your story with optional emoji pins</li>
<li>Find locations by address or paste coordinates</li>
<li>Import named waypoints directly from your GPX file as Map Marker blocks in one click</li>
<li>Without a GPX file, markers are connected together using a straight line</li>
</ul>
<h4>Layout</h4>
<ul>
<li>Two-column desktop view: story on the left, sticky map on the right</li>
<li>Mobile: map sticky at top (hidden by default)</li>
<li>Readers can dismiss and restore the map at any time</li>
</ul>
<h4>Perfect For</h4>
<ul>
<li>Hiking and backpacking blogs</li>
<li>Travel storytelling</li>
<li>Cycling route documentation</li>
<li>Race and event recaps</li>
<li>Historical narratives with geographic context</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Create a post and add the <strong>Map GPX</strong> block</li>
<li>Upload your GPX file from the media library</li>
<li>If your GPX contains named waypoints, click <strong>Import as Map Markers</strong> to add them automatically — or insert <strong>Map Marker</strong> blocks manually at key points in your story</li>
<li>Add coordinates and titles to any markers, then arrange them in your story</li>
<li>Publish – the map automatically follows as readers scroll!</li>
</ol>

<h4>Compatibility</h4>
<ul>
<li>Browsers: Chrome 105+, Safari 15.4+</li>
<li>Themes: Tested on Twenty Twenty-Four and Twenty Twenty-Five. Should work on most block themes. Classic themes are not supported.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Configuring Additional Map Providers (Optional)</h3>
<p>Mapthread includes three free map styles out of the box (Street, Satellite, Topographic). You can also connect additional tile providers with an API key for more map styles: <strong>Mapbox</strong>, <strong>Thunderforest</strong>, <strong>JawgMaps</strong>, <strong>Stadia Maps</strong>.</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to Settings > Mapthread</li>
<li>Enter your API key for any supported provider (Mapbox, Thunderforest, JawgMaps, Stadia Maps)</li>
<li>Select which map styles to enable for each provider</li>
<li>Save Changes — enabled styles will appear in the map layer switcher on the frontend</li>
</ol>
