<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><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. <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>Adjust the map height.</li>
<li>Change the default marker icon with a custom one.</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?

<p>Add a map generated with <a href="http://leafletjs.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">LeafletJS</a>: an open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. Map tiles are provided by default through <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenStreetMap</a>, or <a href="https://www.mapquest.ca/" rel="nofollow ugc">MapQuest</a> (with an app key).  Can be set per map with shortcode attributes or through the dashboard settings.</p>
<h4>Maps</h4>
<p>Simply create a <strong>map</strong> with:</p>
<pre><code>[leaflet-map]
</code></pre>
<p>Lookup an address with:</p>
<pre><code>[leaflet-map address="chicago"]
</code></pre>
<p>Know the latitude and longitude of a location? Use them (and a zoom level) with:</p>
<pre><code>[leaflet-map lat=44.67 lng=-63.61 zoom=5]
</code></pre>
<p>Add a <strong>marker</strong> under your map shortcode, like so:</p>
<pre><code>[leaflet-map]
[leaflet-marker]
</code></pre>
<p>Want more? Make more (and fit the map to contain all of them):</p>
<pre><code>[leaflet-map fitbounds]
[leaflet-marker address="tokyo"]
[leaflet-marker address="oslo"]
[leaflet-marker address="cairo"]
[leaflet-marker address="toronto"]
</code></pre>
<p>You can even add <strong>popups</strong> (to any shape) with their names:</p>
<pre><code>[leaflet-map fitbounds]
[leaflet-marker address="tokyo"]Tokyo[/leaflet-marker]
[leaflet-marker address="oslo"]Oslo[/leaflet-marker]
...
</code></pre>
<p>Add a link to the popup messages the same way you would add any other link with the WordPress editor.</p>
<h4>Other Shapes, GeoJSON, and KML</h4>
<p>Add a line to the map by adding <code>[leaflet-line]</code>. You can specify the postions with a list separated by semi-colon <code>;</code> or bar <code>|</code> using lat/lng: <code>[leaflet-line latlngs="41, 29; 44, 18"]</code> or addresses: <code>[leaflet-line addresses="Istanbul; Sarajevo"]</code>, or x/y coordinates for image maps.</p>
<p>Add a circle to the map by adding <code>[leaflet-circle]</code>. You can specify the position using <code>lat</code> and <code>lng</code> and the radius in meters using <code>radius</code>. You can also customize the style using <a href="https://leafletjs.com/reference.html#path-option" rel="nofollow ugc">Leaflet’s Path options</a>. Example: <code>[leaflet-circle message="max distance" lng=5.117909610271454 lat=52.097914814706094 radius=17500 color="#0DC143" fillOpacity=0.1]</code>.</p>
<p>Or you can add a geojson shape via a url (make sure you are allowed to access it if it’s not hosted on your own server): <code>[leaflet-geojson src="https://example.com/path/to.geojson"]</code>.  Add custom popups with field names; try out the default src file and fields like so:</p>
<pre><code>[leaflet-map fitbounds]
[leaflet-geojson]{name}[/leaflet-geojson]


name is a property on that GeoJSON, and it can be accessed with curly brackets and the property name.
</code></pre>
<h4>Image Maps</h4>
<p>Alternatively, you could use a plain image for visitors to zoom and pan around with <code>[leaflet-image src="path/to/image/file.jpg"]</code>.  See screenshots 3 – 5 for help setting that up.</p>
<h4>More</h4>
<p>Check out other examples on the Shortcode Helper page in the Leaflet Map admin section.</p>
<p>Check out the <strong>source code</strong> and <strong>more</strong> details on <a href="https://github.com/bozdoz/wp-plugin-leaflet-map" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>!</p>


Leaflet Map

Leaflet Map permet l’intégration facile et rapide de cartes OSM et est suffisamment flexible pour s’adapter à tous les projets. Je recommande !

Excellent plugin !

works like a charm, support on top notch!

Excelent plugin, amazing support


The folks behind the Leaflet Map plugin treated me fairly and squarely. I needed an additional functionality to be able to display a gallery shortcode inside the leaflet popup and they were kind enough to assist me and add support for this feature.


Great Plugin, Outstanding Support

Interactive maps and markers on your posts and pages with simple shortcodes.
