Description
MarkerKit turns static images, floor plans, diagrams, and maps into interactive embeds you can add to any page with a shortcode or Gutenberg block. Use the visual editor to place hotspots and polygons, attach popups, enable menu/search, and switch between multiple views (e.g., floors or layouts).
Supports OpenStreetMap tiles, zoom and fullscreen, and built-in analytics. Optionally bind to your JSON endpoints so objects, statuses, and labels stay up to date. Developer APIs (REST + JS) are available for automation and advanced integrations.
This WordPress plugin connects to the MarkerKit platform, which offers a free tier with all features included, ideal for small websites and prototypes.
