Build richer maps in WordPress
WP Go Maps Pro, also named the Professional Edition, is a paid WordPress map plugin for creating customized maps in posts and pages. It extends the basic mapping workflow with multiple maps, advanced markers, directions, marker categories, listings, store locator tools, and additional map blocks.
The plugin supports Google Maps and works with the map-focused WordPress editing tools described for WP Go Maps, including Elementor integration, map blocks, and classic WordPress map widgets. This makes it suitable for contact pages, location directories, delivery areas, routes, and other content that benefits from interactive maps.
Advanced maps and markers
Professional Edition allows you to create multiple maps and add markers containing locations, descriptions, images, categories, links, and directions. Different marker icons, including your own icons, can be used to give locations a distinct appearance. Retina-ready marker icons are also supported.
Marker categories help organize larger collections of locations. Visitors can filter markers by category, while map marker data can be edited and managed through the plugin’s map interface. The edition also supports mashups that combine multiple maps into one map experience.
Directions and marker listings
Visitors can request directions to your markers and use their own map location as the starting or ending point. This can help people plan a route to a business, service point, delivery location, or other mapped destination.
Map markers can be displayed in several listing formats: a basic list, basic table, carousel, or advanced table. These choices let you present locations alongside the map in a format suited to the amount and type of information you need to show.
Blocks, widgets, and store locators
WP Go Maps Pro includes advanced map blocks for different purposes, including a store locator map block, directions map block, infowindow block, and map block with filtering. Elementor map block integration makes it possible to add maps within Elementor layouts, while classic WordPress installations can use map widgets with the same functionality as the map blocks.
Store locator features include advanced options, category-based searching, visitor-location use, and the ability to hide all map markers until a search is completed. You can also move the marker list inside the map window. These tools are useful for directories with multiple branches, service areas, or locations that visitors need to find by category.
Practical map workflows
Start by creating a map, add markers with the information visitors need, and organize them with categories or listings. Add directions when visitors need route guidance, then place the map in a post, page, Elementor layout, block area, or classic editor widget. For a broader directory, combine multiple maps and use filtering or a store locator search.
Installation
Install WP Go Maps Pro or the Professional Edition in WordPress, then create a map and add its markers. Configure the map block, widget, or Elementor integration for the location where the map should appear, and adjust marker, listing, category, directions, or store locator settings as required.
