Build a map with a visual editor, add a store locator that finds the nearest locations, or colour a world or country map with your own data. Everything is keyboard and screen reader accessible, and nothing loads until a visitor needs it. See it on the MatrixMap website<\/a> or try the live demo<\/a> right in your browser.<\/p>\n\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v6zfepSNTt8<\/p>\n\n Store and dealer locators, franchises and chains, restaurants and caf\u00e9s, real estate and property listings, tours and travel routes, events and venues, service areas and sales territories, and data stories such as election results, sales by state or members by country.<\/p>\n\n See them in action on the MatrixMap website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Maps use free OpenStreetMap-based map styles (from OpenFreeMap) out of the box. You can switch to other free styles (topographic, cycling, public transport, satellite imagery), or add a key for Google Maps, MapTiler, Thunderforest or Mapbox if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n Start from a ready-made template (one location, places with a list, a route, a store locator, countries you serve, a data map) or a blank map. The Map, Store Locator, Region Map and Store Search blocks show a live preview in the editor, and you can create or edit a map without leaving the page. Shortcodes and a classic widget work too.<\/p>\n\n MatrixMap imports your maps from WP Go Maps<\/strong>, MapPress<\/strong>, WP Maps<\/strong> and Interactive Geo Maps (MapGeo)<\/strong>, and your stores from WP Store Locator<\/strong> and Agile Store Locator<\/strong>. It can also show Leaflet Map<\/strong> shortcodes and WP Map Block<\/strong> blocks. The other plugin's data is only read, never changed. When you deactivate the old plugin, its shortcodes and blocks show the MatrixMap version, so no page needs editing.<\/p>\n\n Everything above is free, with no limits on maps, places or locations. MatrixMap Pro<\/a><\/strong> is an optional add-on for businesses that want their maps to bring in customers. It adds:<\/p>\n\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cWmUX5fn68k<\/p>\n\n Store locator and locations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Growing a network<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Region maps and data<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Automation and integrations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Plans start at $49 a year for one site (Plus: 5 sites, Agency: 25 sites), or pay once with a lifetime licence, with a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Region maps use none of them. No data is sent until a map is shown (and, with a consent plugin, until the visitor agrees). When a map is shown, the visitor's browser downloads map images or data from the chosen provider, which receives the visitor's IP address and browser details as with any web request.<\/p>\n\n Provides the default map styles, map tiles and map fonts from tiles.openfreemap.org.

Region maps are built from Natural Earth data (public domain) and US Census county boundaries (public domain, via us-atlas, ISC).

See For a store locator, add your stores under MatrixMap \u2192 Locations<\/strong> (or import a CSV under MatrixMap \u2192 Import & Tools<\/strong>), then add the Store Locator block or No. Maps and address search work without any key. A Google key is only needed if you want Google's own map tiles or geocoding.<\/p><\/dd>\n MatrixMap stores no visitor data and sets no cookies. Map tiles come from an outside server, so by default maps wait for consent when a consent plugin is active. You can also make every map \"click to load\". Region maps use no outside services at all.<\/p><\/dd>\n When a visitor clicks Use my location<\/strong>, the browser asks them for permission and gives the position to the page. The page sends it to your site's own search endpoint to find the nearest locations; it is not stored and not sent to any outside service. Without a click, the locator can start near the visitor's city if your CDN provides it (see \"Built around location\").<\/p><\/dd>\n Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) by default, which is free and needs no key.

MatrixMap \u2192 Import & Tools \u2192 Export downloads your maps as a file, and Import maps adds them to another site (as drafts, so you can check them first). Each map in the Maps list also has an Export link.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Nothing needs to be changed, and your 1.x data is kept.<\/p><\/dd>\n The free plugin is complete: unlimited maps, the store locator, all 302 region maps, imports and exports. MatrixMap Pro<\/a> adds directions on your map, analytics, location pages, dealer networks, drilldown and automation. Pro installs next to the free plugin and your maps stay as they are. See MatrixMap \u2192 Free vs Pro<\/strong> in your dashboard or the comparison on our website<\/a> for the full list.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Use the MatrixMap widget in Elementor, the blocks in the block editor, or a shortcode such as Yes. In Google My Maps choose \"Export to KML\/KMZ\" and tick \"Export to a .KML file\" (KMZ archives aren't supported), or use any GPX, KML or GeoJSON file, and add it to a map as a layer. Uploaded files are checked before they are accepted.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. With WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Perfmatters, SiteGround Optimizer, Autoptimize and FlyingPress, MatrixMap automatically excludes its small loader from their \"delay\", \"defer\" and \"combine JavaScript\" features, so maps don't go blank.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, network-wide or per site. Each site keeps its own maps, locations and settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n Online: the MatrixMap documentation<\/a>. Inside WordPress: MatrixMap \u2192 Docs<\/strong> has a searchable guide covering setup, every feature, troubleshooting, privacy and the developer hooks. Settings screens link to the relevant page with \"Learn more\". For help, open a topic in the support forum<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\n By default your maps, locations and settings are kept, so reinstalling brings everything back. To remove everything, turn on Settings \u2192 Advanced \u2192 Also delete all maps, locations and settings<\/strong> before deleting the plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n MatrixMaps is now MatrixMap<\/strong>, rebuilt from the ground up.
