Biggest opportunity: Swap “google maps” for “nomad”. “google maps” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “nomad” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 600 of 41.4K 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.6.30, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| nomad | #13 | #3 | 0 |
| google maps your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| route your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| travel your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| travel blog your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| trip your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

De mogelijkheid om een route weer te geven met eigen informatie, of de informatie die al te vinden is op de site (en daarnaartoe te kunnen linken). Jammer dat er geen ondersteuning meer is voor deze plugin, want een doorontwikkeling was super geweest!

Unfortunately, a support for that plugin doesn’t exist. The plugin is nice for computer desktop, but nowadays something that is not responsive and broke the page on your phone is barely appropriated for use. I waited almost a month for a response and still don’t have an answer. Therefore, I wouldn’t recommend that plugin

I was afraid this great plugin would die a quiet death, but it has been adopted and upgraded. Happy days! Great plugin – by far the best I’ve found for travel websites.

Exactly what I was looking for to make a Route editor. Thanks !

Repeatedly dropping a pin does not select the right location. Can’t edit from the location list makes it very tedious. It may work with major cities, but in some off the trails routes, it just doesn’t work. Good idea, just needs a lot more work
