Users appreciate the ease of use and intuitive setup of the WordPress plugin, which simplifies adding and managing multiple locations. It's particularly beneficial for businesses with multiple stores or locations, providing a reliable map-based locator. Many users commend the responsive support team and frequent updates that address bugs promptly. Developers find it easy to customize and integrate with their websites. However, criticisms include limited default CSS options, inadequate documentation, and high costs for essential add-ons like CSV or XML import functionality. Some users also mention issues with specific geographical areas and browser compatibility. Despite these drawbacks, the plugin is generally considered user-friendly and effective.

Great plugin that is quick and easy to get working. It needed some styling tweaks which for a web developer was easy. I added a custom page type so that each store has it’s own page, great for SEO. I also added code to cluster pins that were too close together to see on Google maps as follows: jQuery( document ).ready(function() { setTimeout( function() { if (jQuery(‘#map_td’).length>0) { jQuery.getScript(“https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/markerclusterer/markerclusterer.js”, function(){ var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(sl_map, sl_marker_array, { imagePath: ‘https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/markerclusterer/m’, gridSize:4 } ); }); } }, 1500); }); I used a custom javascript plugin to add this code to the page.
