1.4%

of downloads still active

At least 10K of 707.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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 11 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.

    I’m very satisfied with the OSM plugin. It offers great performance, especially considering that it’s free. What stands out the most is the support. They are always quick to respond and genuinely helpful whenever issues come up. Highly recommended!

    I use this plugin to geo-tag my campground and attraction reviews. It works very well for this and is free. I figured out how to make modest modifications to the map presentation as well as adding my own custom icons. It does have some quirks but nothing that prevents it from meeting my needs.

    What the title says, we have been using the plugin for over a year, and had issues with recent updates. After raising the issue, it was acknowledged and addressed in a few hours. Our maps all show fine again, it looks great.
