Quick Maps is the easiest way to add a Google Map to your WordPress site — with no Google Maps API key, no billing account, and no Google Cloud setup.

Most map plugins force you to create a Google Cloud project, enable several APIs, turn on billing, and paste a secret key before you can display a single map. Quick Maps skips all of that. Install the plugin, drop a shortcode wherever you want a map, and put an address or place name inside it:

[quick-maps]Orlando, Florida[/quick-maps]
[quick-maps]One Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014[/quick-maps]
[quick-maps height="500px"]Magic Kingdom, Florida[/quick-maps]

That’s the whole setup — a clean, responsive Google Map appears in your post, page, or widget.

Because Quick Maps renders a standard, lazy-loaded Google Maps embed (not the paid JavaScript API), your maps load fast, add no heavy scripts to your pages, and never trigger a surprise bill from Google.

Key Features

No API key required: no Google Cloud project, no billing, no keys to manage. Full guide.
One simple shortcode: [quick-maps]Your address or place[/quick-maps] is all it takes. Full guide.
Map any address or place: a street address, a business name, a landmark, or latitude/longitude coordinates. Full guide.
Responsive by default: maps fill their container (width 100%) and adapt to any screen size. Full guide.
Set your own size: control the map with the width and height attributes, e.g. [quick-maps height="500px" width="80%"]Miami, FL[/quick-maps]. Full guide.
Choose the map style: roadmap (default), satellite, hybrid, or terrain with the type attribute, e.g. [quick-maps type="satellite"]Grand Canyon[/quick-maps]. Full guide.
Set the zoom level with the zoom attribute (0 = whole world, 21 = street level), e.g. [quick-maps zoom="16"]Times Square, NYC[/quick-maps]. Full guide.
Show the map in any language with the lang attribute, e.g. [quick-maps lang="es"]Madrid[/quick-maps]. Full guide.
Show driving directions between two places with the from and to attributes, e.g. [quick-maps from="Orlando, FL" to="Miami, FL"][/quick-maps]. Full guide.
Lazy-loaded: the embed uses native lazy loading, so maps below the fold don’t slow your initial page load. Full guide.
Works everywhere shortcodes do: posts, pages, and text/HTML widgets, including most page builders. Full guide.
