Easy Map – Store Locator, OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, Mapbox

Easy Map is a WordPress store locator and interactive map plugin. Use it to add interactive maps, multiple location markers and a searchable store finder to any page. It’s built on Leaflet and uses OpenStreetMap with no API key. You can switch to Google Maps or Mapbox or CARTO at any time. Add maps with a shortcode or the Gutenberg block, show your shops, branches, dealers or offices with custom marker icons and rich popups, and draw delivery areas and routes on the map.
