Map Block for Google Maps

Description

Are you using Gutenberg and need a map? This is the map block for you! Install, active, add to content. Done! No nonsense, no unneeded settings. Simple and clear in its function – as any Gutenberg block should be.

Gutenberg is now a core feature so please update to WordPress v5, or install the Gutenberg plugin.

Plugin Features

Works as any other Gutenberg block with the following settings:
* address, or coordinates
* zoom
* map height
* API key – once saved in one block it’s used in all others

Need a non-Gutenberg map solution? Check out our free Google Maps Widget plugin.

If only all WP plugins were that simple

Miro J August 20, 2024 1 reply

This is one of the easiest plugins to use and set up. In the desire to add many features, other developers make theirs very complicated and heavy. If you use Gutenberg (new versions of WP), this is the one to install. Period!

Great lightweight option

A great way to get a simple, no-frills, map block up and running in minimum time. It doesn’t require jQuery as a dependency, which is a huge plus for theme developers. Some tweaks to the admin UI/UX would be nice, hence the 4 stars, but otherwise a well made plugin.

Actually simple and good Google Maps Blocks plugin

Actually just got on with being a google maps block plugin, making it dead simple to insert map blocks, unlike all the other overengineered overly complicated maps plugins.

Perfect
