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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

7 of the last 10 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

    Attempted to use this, can’t select to display just UK, have to select all of Europe. Even then, once saved, the resulting map doesn’t only show Europe it shows the full map. Can’t find any option to add any marker to the map at all. Deactivated and deleted within 30 minutes.

    Other than the link at the bottom of the map, it seems to work fine. Can make changes with your own theme styling, but does what it needs to.

    First off, let me explain the context of why I think this is a great plugin. Google Maps, in my opinion, is untouchable. However, Google’s pricing is a landmine field I don’t want to send my clients into. To find an alternative, I googled for another plugin and came across Interactive World Map. First off, the developer’s support was amazing, right from the first point of contact on their website through the chat box. Then the map plugin itself is super simple to use and comes with more than enough usability to offer a great solution. The fact that you can add markers with information (including a link to the location on Google Maps, which is great for navigation) is a great bonus. Another bonus is that it’s region specific. That means you can have a map of only an area of interest to your business, which removes unnecessary fluff. This is a great plugin. Highly recommended.

    La verdad, es que por el precio que tiene merece muy mucho la pena. Es muy sencillo de manejar, puedes editar cada región a tu antojo e incluso personalizarlas. El soporte es rápido y resuelven dudas sin problemas. Añade un toque innovador a tu wordpress, sin duda es un acierto.

    I have had this plugin customized twice and both customizations are currently working. I’m using the map to display sales representatives across North America, so this visual aid is helpful and functional.
