This was such an awesome plugin but he is no longer offering premium support, his linking website is gone, and has not updated in 4 months. So sad.

If you are building a site for a multi-location client, this plugin is the perfect solution.This is not a beginner-level plugin. If you’re not comfortable with WordPress on at least a lower intermediate level, you’ll need to spend some time configuring and testing. That said, I’ve found support for SimpleMap Store Locator to be excellent and prompt. It’s exactly what I needed for my project and I’m so glad there are people out there who build such cool tools. I highly recommend the plugin.

After google changed their policy of google maps this plugin stopped working and this plugin seems not to be updated anymore.

On a tight timeline and do not have time to figure out why some things stop working. Need to try something else. Thank you.

Great plugin but the new version has bugs. I have the categories in my import file, everything imports but the categories are not assigned, even though they have been imported.
***** Since bugs were fixed, Its the best, 5 stars.

I’ve been using this plugin for quite a while now and it surprises me that it doesn’t get as much attention as it should. Easy to implement, haven’t used premium support though as I have not encountered any issues so far.

The plugin is great and does exactly what it should do as described. In regards to people complaining about support… a premium license (that comes with premium support) is only $30 a year! I know, we have become spoiled with the amount of freebies out there for WordPress but $30 a year is nothing. Especially if you have already wasted hours trying to figure things out for yourself!

You need to know how to customise it, and your ready to go. The updates for new wordpress versions could be beter.
CSV upload works good. Automatic geocode works good.
]]>Rating: 1 star
Maximum .csv upload size of 2MB is too small. Requires manual geocoding. Tags and Categories form fields are not grouped.
]]>Rating: 2 stars
This is the only free map locator that allows you to upload a full CSV file. That is literally the only reason I’m using this. Every single feature they claim works perfectly I’ve had to fiddle with to get to work properly.
It’s also the only plugin that gives me problems while updating to the newer versions of wordpress.

EXTREMELY Poorly Documented.
Buggy, non-user-friendly.
Not for professional use – expect a lot of wasted time trying to make it look semi-professional
Rating: 1 star
This looked nice but to old code and no updates or support. Dont work in mobile devices and slows regular sites down overall loading time.

Don’t be too put off by negative reviews – it works reasonably well out of the box so I’m glad I tried it.
I can’t speak for the support as I’ve not needed it, but documentation seems to be lacking. I’m loathe to criticise something that’s free though, so give it a try.
For others looking to use this plugin, be aware that you can alter the display of the search form with shortcode attributes – it took a lot of digging around to find this, and doesn’t seem to be documented on the www.remarpro.com site or the plugin’s own website.
Instead of [simplemap] you can use something like [simplemap search_form_cols=4 search_fields='labelbr_street||labelbr_city||labelbr_state||labelbr_zip||labeltd_distance||empty||empty||submit||empty||empty||empty']. This would change the number of columns in the search input table to 4, and then long parameter specifies which table cells to drop in the inputs.
There are other attributes you can change – just take a look at the defaults in \classes\simplemap.php around line 2318.

This really is the best one out there. Once you tweak a few things here and there you can really get the locator looking nice.

Includes a wealth of nice features.
It seems that other users are experiencing issues, but when we tested it, it seemed to work fine.

We bought this about 2 years ago and within a month, they told us there was no longer going to be any support. I’m fine with that, but they should shut down the website and stop selling it to people.

The support of this plugin is shocking (just look at the support section) and it doesn’t work with newer versions of php (5.4+), which you can’t get any support on!
I would recommend avoiding this one and look elsewhere.

The developers of this plug don’t respond to anything. The stated 4 updates a year don’t happen.
It’s a shame, this plugin used to be great, and worth every penny. Simple changes and suggestions go unheeded.

This plugin is far easier to install and setup than any other locator plugin I have tried. I had it up and running within an hour and added over 700 locations weigh the import feature. It’s amazing. I would recommend it to everyone.

Had been using this plugin for almost 8 months on the same hosting environment and it worked perfectly well. After the WordPress update to 3.6 it began to stop loading the locations data. I called for support but the IT guy told me that it was Google’s fault, they were denying my requests because of the hosting environment. (which had been working previously) I try another plugin and everything worked great! why would that be? because its the simplemaps plugin that was failing, not Google’s API which works for billions of people every day! your simple little plugin barely services a thimble compared to that. And instead of helping to track down the problem they spent less than 30 seconds telling me i had to contact Google support instead. Gee thanks! Learn from my horrible mistake and don’t waste your time on a plugin that could randomly stop working on you and a support center that abandons you and claims its not their problem leaving you to do hours worth of transfer work to a more reliable plugin, just start there to begin with.

Map is not showing, and search doesn’t work with latest wp 3.5.2 version. Sorry ??
]]>Rating: 4 stars
Thus far it works very well! It does exactly what it says it should be able to do. There is a lot of flexibility with the functionality and setting as well as the styling of the plugin.
I do however wish there was a way to include an image with the locations.

Getting a nasty Google “sensor” API error on every page load. Can’t edit search form labels. Zero documentation. Developer doesn’t seem to be updating anymore. Avoid.

This plugin does not work with wordpress in backend just freezes.
