What the author says it does

MapPress is the easiest way to add beautiful interactive maps to WordPress, with Gutenberg map blocks and classic editor support.

Create unlimited maps and markers in the free version, with no upgrade required. MapPress works the moment you activate it: no API key, no billing account, no configuration.

Pick the map service that fits you: Google Maps, or free keyless Leaflet maps using OpenFreeMap (OpenStreetMap data) — no API key required. Mapbox is also supported.

Perfect for contact pages, store and office locations, real estate listings, travel routes, delivery areas and directories.

Upgrade to MapPress Pro for even more features, including custom icons (with a built-in icon editor!), search and filter, mashups, and much more. See it in action on the MapPress Home Page or test it yourself with a Free Demo Site!

Questions the author answers

Is the free version limited?

No. The free version allows unlimited maps and markers — no cap, and no upgrade required. Pro adds more features, but it doesn’t raise any limit, because there isn’t one.

Do I need a Google Maps API key?

No. MapPress includes free Leaflet maps using OpenFreeMap, which serves OpenStreetMap data and needs no API key. A key is only required if you choose the Google Maps or Mapbox engines. You can switch engines at any time without losing your maps.

Which map engine should I choose?

Leaflet maps using OpenFreeMap need no API key or billing setup, or choose Google Maps (which require an API key). Your maps are stored independently of the engine, so you can switch at any time without losing data.

Does MapPress work with the block editor, classic editor and page builders?

Yes. MapPress includes a Gutenberg map block and full classic editor support, and you can place maps anywhere using a shortcode or directly in PHP.

Does MapPress set cookies or track visitors?

The free Leaflet maps using OpenFreeMap set no cookies and do not track your visitors, so they require no cookie consent. Google Maps and Mapbox may track users, but if you use the Complianz consent plugin, MapPress integrates with it automatically to block those services until a visitor consents.

Does MapPress work with caching plugins?

Yes. If a map stops loading after enabling aggressive JavaScript optimization, exclude the MapPress scripts from minification or deferral.
