<p>This plugin <strong>requires</strong> WordPress <code>5.0</code> or greater.</p>
<h3>API Key</h3>
<p>This plugin requires an API key to interact with Google Maps. Without an API key maps will not be displayed.</p>
<p>To obtain an API key follow these steps:<br />
1. Create a new project in the Google Developer’s console by clicking <a href="https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_backend,static_maps_backend,maps_embed_backend&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE&reusekey=true" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a> and selecting <em>Create new project</em><br />
1. Name your project<br />
1. Select <em>HTTP referrers (web sites)</em>  for the <em>Key restriction</em> type<br />
1. Enter the domains where your API key will be used<br />
    – Example: <code>*.mysite.com</code><br />
1. Click the <em>Create</em> button<br />
1. Write your API key down in a safe place<br />
1. Enter the API key into the plugin settings<br />
1. Clear full page caching, if necessary</p>
<p>Note: The API key will be exposed publicly to generate the map. It is important to <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/get-api-key#key-restrictions" rel="nofollow ugc">restrict your API key</a> so others do not abuse it. The API key will be used, and displayed, in both the WordPress editor and the front end of the site.</p>
<h3>Use</h3>
<p>Once you have saved an API key into the plugin settings simply enter a location, such as New York, NY, or a full address. You may also choose the map width, height, zoom level and toggle between an interactive map or a static image in the block settings, which are visible in the right-hand sidebar when the block is selected.</p>

Easy Google Maps


It you want to create a map with a few FIXED (aka STATIC) markers (and categorisation) then this looks like it would do the job very well.



If you want to dynamically add markers in PHP or automatically add markers from images with GPS info (attached or not) then I have a pending query as to whether this is possible (see: supsystic.com/topic/can-you-add-attached-images-with-gps-or-specifiy-markers-in-shorcode/).


Very few Shortcode Examples - so unsure of capabilities

Google Maps with markers, locations and clusterization, KML layers and filters. Custom Google map markers with text, images, videos, links.
