Maps by Cartes.io – live community and private maps for anything

This plugin lets you create free anonymous live maps on your website. You can also unlock your maps so that other people can contribute to it.

Need to show all your business locations? Create a private map and mark the spots so that your customers know where to visit you.

You can also create maps that your visitors can contribute to! For example: want to gather your customers favorite restaurants? Create an unlocked and public map for restaurants that anyone can contribute to!

Need more inspiration? Install the plugin and check out “Discover Maps”.
