We make use of a various libraries and 3rd party service providers in order to render maps in your preferred mapping engine. This section will describe each of these in more detail and when they are used.
- OpenLayers: Served from a local library file (lib/ol.js & lib/ol.css), provided by OpenLayers. We use this library when you set your block to use OpenLayers (default). You can find the source files on the OpenLayers GitHub.
- OpenStreetMap: When you select the OpenLayers engine, a default map tile server is used, which is provided by OpenStreetMap. This is a 3rd party service provider that we rely on to render your map. They may also make use of MapBox for some of their assets.
- Google Maps API: If you decide to use Google Maps as your map engine, we will include the Google Maps API as a 3rd party service provider that we rely on to render your maps. In this case, admin map previews are still rendered by OpenLayers and OpenStreetMap.
- Nominatim (OpenStreetMap): If you perform an address search within the admin area, we will make use of the OpenStreetMap Nominatim to lookup locations and suggest addresses to you. This is a 3rd party service provider that we rely on for address searches.
Our WP Go Maps plugin can be found on the WordPress plugin directory. It can be installed alongside the block plugin if you need more features like multiple markers, shape support or a store locator!
Once the plugin is activated, simply edit the post/page and drag the Map Block into your map.
If you are using the full plugin alongside our lightweight block plugin, the block name will be change to Single Location instead, as the full plugin includes it’s own map block which is more focused on full map features.
Yes we are! We decided to build a lightweight standalone map block to help users who need a simple map, perfect for a contact page, without the need for any more advanced features.
Excellent Support and Great plugin

I've been using this plugin for several years. Made some changes and ran into difficulty. Matt has been a great resource, providing outstanding support and in some cases even going in and fixing things for me. I couldn't ask for better support. He understood my questions and issues, and then resolved them. HIghly recommended plugin with great support.

Great product and great support

WP Go Maps is a great product for it's price, and support is fantastic, too. When I needed to add new functionality to the map, Jaden on their support team came through with the code to make it happen. I'll definitely be using this plugin on future projects.

Really Impressive Plugin & Excellent Support
By 
I purchased this maps plugin for a client however the client decided to go with a static image of his location instead. I wrote to the company asking for a refund since we wont be using the plugin for this website. I heard back from Matthew Lau who offered great assistance. I did play around with the plugin when it was installed and was really impressed with the well thought out features. There is a LOT of customization options available. In fact, I cant think of any feature that was missing. I will be buying this plugin again for clients and will consider it my "go to" plugin for maps (Ive tried a handful of others and by far this one is the best).
I personally look for regular updates, great customer service and usability when it comes to plugins and this one checked off all three criteria.
Keep up the great work!
