Display Multiple Locations with Searchable Map
Use the Multi Location WordPress plugin to display multiple locations or points of interest on an interactive Google Maps integration.
Each location can include a detailed description, images, videos, full address details, and searchable markers, making it easy for visitors to explore and navigate your map.
The plugin is suitable for creating both simple location maps and fully searchable store locator systems on WordPress sites.
Create a Searchable Store Locator Map
|
With the Multi Location Map plugin, you can build a searchable store locator map that displays all your locations on a single Google Map. Each location has its own dedicated page with structured information, images, and navigation details. Visitors can search locations by ZIP code, category, name, or description, and browse specific location categories embedded anywhere on your site using shortcodes. Set up a searchable store locator and organize all your locations in one place. |

Benefits of the Multi Location Map Plugin
Example Map with Cafes, Restaurants, Banks, Landmarks and Hotels |
The plugin supports a wide range of use cases, from listing business branches and retail stores to displaying landmarks, tourist attractions, or local community locations. Each location can be assigned a unique icon based on its category, with full support for custom icon uploads to match your site's design. This flexibility makes it easy to adapt the map to different industries and audiences while keeping the interface intuitive for visitors exploring multiple locations. |
Map Themes and Tiles
|
Choose from six predefined map themes, ranging from minimalist layouts to more decorative styles. Users can switch between map, terrain, and satellite views directly on the map interface. The plugin also supports external map tiles, allowing you to include additional layers or data from sources such as OpenStreetMap and other mapping services. |

Add Custom Polygons and Shapes
Create shapes of any colors with polygons |
Enhance your maps by adding custom lines, circles, and rectangle polygons to highlight specific areas. Each polygon can be individually styled with custom colors, stroke width, and opacity. Polygons can also display informative tooltips on interaction, making it easy to mark parks, districts, routes, or restricted areas directly on the map. |
User Dashboard for Managing Locations
|
Enable collaboration by allowing specific user roles to add or manage locations through a dedicated user dashboard. Each authorized user can view, edit, and manage the locations they have created. This feature is especially useful for multi-author websites, franchises, or community-driven location directories. Give trusted users controlled access to manage map locations without full admin permissions. |

Rich Location Pages and Tooltips
Location Page with Additional Details |
Location data can be displayed either through detailed location pages or interactive tooltips. Clicking a marker can open a full location page or show a rich tooltip - the choice is fully configurable. Location pages support photos, videos, tags, categories, formatted content, and built-in navigation via Google Maps and Waze, ensuring visitors have all essential details in one place. |
Display Quick Info with Location Tooltips
|
Location tooltips provide a compact way to display key information such as the title, address, image, and short description. This is especially helpful for maps with a large number of locations where quick scanning is preferred. Tooltips allow users to preview information without leaving the map view, improving usability and exploration. |

Custom Icons for Each Location
Choosing the Icon for Location |
Each location can display a unique icon to improve visibility and differentiation on the map. Choose from a large library of predefined icons or upload custom icons for individual locations or entire categories. This makes it easier for users to visually distinguish different location types at a glance. |
Location Filters and Taxonomies
|
In addition to standard categories, the plugin allows you to create custom taxonomies to build advanced location classification systems. Visitors can filter locations using these taxonomies, making it easier to narrow down results on large maps. This structure works well for complex directories with multiple location types or attributes. |
Example of Map Filters |
Search Locations by ZIP Code and Radius
Search by ZIP In Specified Radius |
The plugin supports radius-based searches centered around a specified ZIP code. Administrators can define minimum and maximum radius values, as well as selectable radius steps. This feature enables users to quickly find nearby locations within a defined distance range, improving local search accuracy. |
Numbered Markers for Easy Navigation
|
Replace traditional map markers with numbered icons for a clean and organized overview of all locations. Each numbered marker corresponds to an entry in the location list displayed alongside the map. Clicking a number automatically scrolls the page to the matching location entry, creating a smooth connection between the map and the list. |
Displaying Markers as Numbers |
Boost SEO with Location Pages
Managing the location |
Each location includes its own dedicated page, creating additional indexable content for search engines. These pages are internally linked and structured to support location-based keywords and local SEO strategies. Adding well-defined location pages can help improve visibility in search results and make it easier for search engines to crawl your site. Use location pages to strengthen your site’s SEO and local discoverability. |
Import and Export Map Locations
|
Easily move location data between sites using KML or CSV formats. The import and export tools allow you to edit locations in spreadsheet software such as Excel or Google Sheets before uploading them back to WordPress. This makes it simple to manage large location datasets or migrate maps between environments. |
Locations Import Screen |
GDPR-Compliant WordPress Plugin
Terms of Service Prompt |
The plugin includes built-in GDPR compliance options. You can require first-time users to accept your terms of service before submitting or managing locations. This helps ensure compliance with data protection regulations for user-submitted location data. |
