Simple and therefore super convenient plugin
This plugin does exactly what I hoped for and is easy to use. Just have a look at the end result (a map of all our hikes in the Netherlands): https://www.grijsopreis.nl/wandelingen-in-nederland/?dfg_filter=2908#al-onze-wandelingen-in-een-overzichtelijk-kaartje

Nice and easy
A map plugin which is not bloated and stuffed with settings you don't need. Nice work.

Simple to use
This plugin is very intuitive. Of course it is not complete, but a lot depends on how you use it. I give 5 stars for ease of use.
