  • Great plugin before the update

    I really liked the plugin. It was simple and just did what it should. Since the last update, it added a menu that I never will use and just a lot of clutter.If you have multiple maps you like to show, this is probably great, but as a lightweight way to include a single map, I cannot recommend it.

  • Broken Adware

    Since 1.4.10 the custom icon feature is broken. Since 2.0.0 it is adware.

  • New feature: advert!

    It used to be a good, lightweight plugin, but now it's part of aBlocks and shows giant ad for aBlocks everywhere.

  • The best except a small detail

    Simply setup, easy adding new markers, functional and actually you save a loooot of time by not defining new tokens etc.. It works immediately! The only problem is that the markers are not precise when the zoom is not at the maximum level. Zooming out and the marker goes in different position (lower). (tested in firefox, edge and in the plugin website example map. (I have google for solution/workaround but no luck. Hopefully I'm mistaken or to hear about a solution/workaround soon.
