FAQ

Can I use my own SVG files?

Yes, you can upload any SVG file and turn it into an interactive map.

MapSVG has 100+ SVG vector maps inlcuded in the plugin. Also, MapSVG can create an interactive map from any custom SVG file. But it can’t generate SVG maps from scratch and we don’t provide map drawing services.

Can I show another map on click on a map region?

Yes, you can do that – but only in the Premium version.

Powerful and versatile mapping plugin

Viladu Puton March 3, 2025

A remarkably powerful mapping plugin— I was pleasantly surprised by its capabilities!

Best multipurpose map plugin for WordPress

bw/a March 2, 2025

Create and edit your maps as easy as 1-2-3. Add a map, customize it, add pins & content and voila! If you are planning to create a listing like a business listing or a tour guide, MapSVG is the best plugin to use and customize in the WordPress ecosystem. Not only 2D map customizations, but also has great solutions for real estate to show the area on the map in 3D. Maybe you have a local news site and want to show local election results in your area with visual data, MapSVG can do that too. The biggest advantage of the application is that it serves many purposes, not just one, and it is very easy to use. I recommend it.

Works well for what I need it for
