Out of the Block: OpenStreetMap

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

   The plugin is easy to set up and use. Had some difficulty to get the map showing, but it was quickly resolved.

   This is one hell of a nice plugin. It allows you to easily put a block on your site and add (multiple) markers. You can easily change the contents of the popup (just don’t go wild) and is GDPR friendly. If that’s what you need this is the plugin to go to. If you need other stuff (e. g. filters and stuff) – keep looking. But for a simple map that just works and has a easy, clean interface take this one.

   <p>The plugin is really great.<br />Too bad it only works with the Gutenberg editor.<br />I prefer to use the Classic Editor, but there I can not use the plugin so.<br />I would have to adjust the HTML source code by hand.</p> <p>The Map is not loading, if CloudFlare Rocket Loader is active.</p> This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by Hoerli.

   Great plugin. First one that works very easy with multiple pins. And no API en giving credentials for billing. In the info window you van make a link to the route on Google maps if you want. Formatting the block is easy.

   Just because we don’t need an API license key, and we can have multiple pins per map among other things, for me this is the best mapping block. And of course, the plugin works exactly as advertised. Until now, I was using my own map block I had created with ACF Pro, but that was just simple Google Map embed, which again did not require an API key, but was restricted to one pin per map, and of course no live data like traffic and other visuals, along with no street view. Well done, and thank you, Nick.
