Easy Google Maps

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Die Karte konnte nicht geladen werden. Es stellte sich heraus, dass die Website bereits eine integrierte Google Map im Theme hatte, die das Laden des Plugins verhinderte. Sie haben mir auch geholfen, meinen API-Schlüssel einzurichten.

   It you want to create a map with a few FIXED (aka STATIC) markers (and categorisation) then this looks like it would do the job very well. If you want to dynamically add markers in PHP or automatically add markers from images with GPS info (attached or not) then I have a pending query as to whether this is possible (see: supsystic.com/topic/can-you-add-attached-images-with-gps-or-specifiy-markers-in-shorcode/).

   The plugin is not bad, you can set more than enough. Unfortunately, when you buy the paid version, it doesn’t work and the support doesn’t respond to anything, it just sends an advertisement. Use of traffic information is thus significantly limited. It is not possible to set a time limit, or photos where they would like to be placed.

   Excellent support, by mistake I bought a different plugin, I got in touch and in 5 minutes they solved the problem and changed the product. 5 minutes! I highly recommend them.
