Map Block Leaflet

Works great, looks great; highly recommended.

I wanted to avoid gutenburg in my own plugin, and this plugin seems to work perfectly.

Fantastic


Simple to use and supported. 



Great plugin to use on your website 💪 when displaying maps with custom multiple markers.



Thank you.


Super easy to use and great support

Embed maps in content without needing to include an API key.

<p>A map block for Gutenberg which uses <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenStreetMap</a> and <a href="https://leafletjs.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Leaflet.js</a>. It needs no API keys and works out of the box (or, out of the Block, if you prefer). Benefiting from Gutenberg’s potential, the plugin tries a different take on how to add your locations on the map and rethinks a few things, UX-wise.</p>
<p>Instead of manually adding coordinates for each one of your markers, just click-and-drop them directly on the map. You want to adjust their position? Just drag them wherever you want. And instead of filling-in custom fields to set each marker’s popup content, just open that popup and start writing in it, the Gutenberg way (it supports WYSIWYG editing, with links, images, and all). It even stores the map’s zoom level as you use it so that you don’t have to set it by hand.</p>

<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>No need for API keys. Just install and use it.</li>
<li>Support for multiple markers.</li>
<li>Support for a different icon per marker.</li>
<li>Support for polygons and polylines.</li>
<li>Marker clustering: group nearby markers into clusters that expand as you zoom in.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.gsarigiannidis.gr/wordpress-gutenberg-map-block-openstreetmap/" rel="nofollow ugc">Dead-simple interface</a>. Don’t search for coordinates and don’t get overwhelmed by too many fields when using multiple markers. Just point and click on the map to add your marker where you want it and edit it’s popup content directly from there.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.gsarigiannidis.gr/openstreetmap-place-search/" rel="nofollow ugc">Place search</a>. Find locations by typing keywords.</li>
<li>Remembers the zoom that you set when adding the markers and stores it so that you don’t set it by hand (which you can do anyway if you prefer).</li>
<li>AI integration which allows you to add markers by using commands in natural language. Just say “please” to activate (e.g. “Please, show me where GOT was filmed”). Requires an API key from an AI Provider, or a site-level AI connector on WordPress 7.0+. <a href="https://www.gsarigiannidis.gr/openstreetmap-openai-integration/" rel="nofollow ugc">Read more</a>.</li>
<li>Query Maps: Supports creating a map out of maps added on other posts or post types. This can be quite powerful when, for example, you have a custom post type for “Places” with each place having its own map, and you want to dynamically gather-up all the places on a single map.</li>
<li>Shortcode support: You can use the shortcode <code>[ootb_query]</code> as an alternative way to use the aforementioned Query Maps feature (see the FAQ for more info).</li>
<li>Support for a location custom field, which can be used to store a post’s or post type’s location, following the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Geodata" rel="nofollow ugc">Geodata guidelines</a>. Read more in the <a href="https://github.com/gsarig/ootb-openstreetmap/releases/tag/2.8.0" rel="nofollow ugc">v.2.8.0 release notes</a>.</li>

<li>Enable or disable map dragging.</li>
<li>Enable or disable touch zoom.</li>
<li>Enable or disable double-click zoom.</li>
<li>Enable or disable scroll wheel zoom.</li>
<li>Set a minimum and maximum limit that the user can zoom on the frontend. Setting the same value to both fields will lock the zoom at that level.</li>
<li>Support for other Layer Providers: MapBox (using your own API key) and Stamen.</li>
<li>Option to export locations in a JSON file</li>
<li>Option to import locations from a JSON file</li>
</ul>


Out of the Block: OpenStreetMap

Just because we don't need an API license key, and we can have multiple pins per map among other things, for me this is the best mapping block. And of course, the plugin works exactly as advertised.

Until now, I was using my own map block I had created with ACF Pro, but that was just simple Google Map embed, which again did not require an API key, but was restricted to one pin per map, and of course no live data like traffic and other visuals, along with no street view.

Well done, and thank you,
Nick.

The best map block


In 5 minutes I had a map with a marker. Easy!


Loved it!

A map block for Gutenberg using OpenStreetMap and Leaflet that needs no API keys and works out of the box. Or should we say, ...Out of the Block?
