of downloads still active
At least 900 of 81.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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 1 release 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

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. “world”, “interactive” and “clickable maps” (#5, #10 and #14 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles7 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.

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.
