Max Interactive Maps

Max Interactive Maps adds a bundled SVG world map to WordPress. Place pins with a visual editor, choose their labels, destination URLs, colors and icons, then embed the published map using its shortcode. Maps do not require a third-party map service, map tiles or an API key.

Key Features

• Drag-and-Drop Pin Placement – Add and position pins on the bundled world map
• Percentage-Based Positioning – Pin anchors scale with the map’s SVG canvas
• 5 Pin Icon Styles – Choose from Simple Dot, Teardrop, Star, Flag, or Pushpin designs
• Custom Color Controls – Set land color, water/background color, border color, and individual pin colors
• Responsive Maps – Maps resize with their container and use smaller icons on narrower screens; crowded labels may need author adjustments
• Place Structured Data – Labeled pins contribute Place entries to ItemList JSON-LD, with optional latitude/longitude you enter per pin; coordinates are never generated automatically
• No Map-Service API – The map is bundled locally; WordPress supplies the editor libraries
• Keyboard Controls – Focus and edit pins from the keyboard, including arrow-key positioning and a managed settings dialog
• Save Feedback – Clear warnings for rejected or conflicting map edits and protected damaged records

Use Cases

• Travel blogs showing visited destinations
• Business locations and branch offices
• Event locations
