  • Clear Recommendation

    This plugin is awesome and exactly what I wanted to see. Setup is very easy. There's a bug though: While setting up the Gutenberg block, error messages keep appearing on the bottom left of the screen. I'd like to have an option to display the map in dark mode. I know MapKit JS offers that.

  • Works Like it Should!

    I have been using several different map plugins for my Wordpress site. All have had issues. I don't want to use Google Maps, and the other plugins related to open maps I have looked at have limitations related to geolookups (particularly non-english locations) and marker placement. Having an easy way to embed Apple Maps on my Wordpress site is very helpful. Also like that I can place multiple markers on a map.
