How it's measured →1.3%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 1.5M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 16 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “directions”, “polygon” and “route” (#4, #4 and #4 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

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.

In general this plugin is good, but unfortunately I found some bugs and irritating things. This topic was modified 3 years ago by packi93.

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.
