of downloads still active
At least 400 of 22K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.

Works great! only extra things I’d ask for are a quicker refresh rate (option) a way to change the markers and an update so it says it’s compatabile with x.x.x wordpress but anyhow it works great

I used this to track an attempt of the Great Western Loop in 2021. It tracked 4800 miles until an injury was sustained. Super cool plugin to show live racking data on a WordPress website. Thank you to the dev 🙂

Deze plugin is perfect als je gewoon simpel een GPX route wil laten zien op jouw website. In tegenstelling tot vele andere plugins werkt hier de upload van GPX bestanden wel en hoef je geen 3th party tools te installeren om jouw GPX bestand op de server te krijgen.

When I put forward that I wanted to make a road trip across the US on my own my wife was understandably nervous, and set the condition that she wanted to be able to follow my progress at any time of the day. Rather than relying on a phone app like Find My Friends and facing hefty data charges I looked fora WordPress compatible solution – and to my delight I found Trackserver. This easy-to-install plugin, and the non-nonsense TrackMe app, worked flawlessly. It didn’t take me more than a couple of hours to install, set up and test and during the time I ran it there were no glitches or fails. Only when I tried to export the data to a gpx file did I have an issue, and the developer answered my support request, found the fault and patched the plugin within 24 hours.
