Overview
Waymark is a robust WordPress plugin designed for creating and displaying interactive maps with ease. It offers an intuitive editor for generating maps adorned with markers, lines, and shapes that can be enriched with titles, images, and descriptions. Supporting various import formats such as GPX, KML, GeoJSON, and EXIF data, the plugin allows for detailed customization through additional meta information and overlay types. Users can embed maps via shortcodes and control who can submit maps from the front end, with options for approval. The plugin also supports export to common geographical data formats, display customization with CSS, and integration with WordPress using custom post types and taxonomies. Utilizing the Leaflet JS library, Waymark ensures compatibility and extendibility, making it perfect for anyone looking to enhance their website with interactive map functionality.

Customising
- Flexible settings to control how Overlays (Markers/Lines/Shapes) are displayed.
- Provide Marker Icons as Font Icons, Simple Text, Emojis, or Custom HTML.

Many thanks for this great plugin. It’s really rare to find something like this as open source. Nice to see that it is still being maintained. Thanks again for the great work!

A nice plugin to include maps/tracks on your website. We use it for our (road) cycling club so members can download the gpx of the group ride. We do not use all functionality like “rich” maps with markers and photo’s. We also not create maps within the plugin but reference the gpx file directly that is stored in the media section of WP. Support by the creator of this plugin is very good (in the odd case something does not work).

I use this plugin to show maps for our cycling routes on our website and it is perfect. Twice when I needed support so far, Joe responded in minutes and problem solved.
