Maps Marker
9,000+ active installs · Rated 4.6/5 · Updated December 5, 2025
A mapping plugin for pinning places on maps, organising markers into layers and adding descriptions, images and directions, using map providers such as OpenStreetMap, Google Maps or Bing. Maps are added with a shortcode. It suits sites wanting a self-managed map collection. The free version is retired and receives only occasional security updates, so its makers point users to the paid Maps Marker Pro instead.
Pros
- Markers grouped into layers with icons
- Shortcode and recent-markers widget
- Several basemap providers to choose from
Cons
- Free version retired: security fixes only
- Upgrade pages push the paid Maps Marker Pro
- Some providers need their own keys or accounts
