Create and share customisable interactive Maps. Embed OpenStreetMap, add Overlays like location aware Photos and Tracks with elevation profiles.
Features:
- Easy to use, customisable and developer friendly.
- Use the Editor to create Maps containing Overlays (Markers, Lines and Shapes).
- Every Overlay can be given a title, image and description; which is displayed once the Overlay is clicked.
- Set styles and options once using Types, then simply select the appropriate Type when adding an Overlay.
- Add Maps to your content using the Waymark Shortcode, or link to the Map Details page.
- OpenStreetMap is the default Basemap, with support for multiple Basemaps.
- Images uploaded with location data (EXIF) will have a Marker placed where the photo was taken.
- Import from GPX, KML and GeoJSON formats. You can export Maps in the same formats and let your visitors do it too.
- An interactive profile chart can be displayed for Tracks uploaded with elevation data.
- Group Maps together using Collections and display multiple Maps at once.
- Add extra information to your Maps using Meta; these are customisable form inputs that allow you to add additional data to your Maps.
- For the developers: Maps are stored using the custom post type
waymark_map, Meta is stored as Custom Fields and Collections use thewaymark_collectionTaxonomy. Most elements can be styled using CSS and have sensibly namedwaymark-classes.

Currently v0.9.18-b1
- Submissions
- Allow registered users, or guests to create Maps from the front-end of your site. You can control who can Submit Maps, what editor features are available and whether submissions should be approved before they are published. Originally suggested here.
- Fixed a bug where Shortcode Headers were not displaying on Collection archive pages. Thanks to meggsico for bringing this to my attention.
- Lots of back-end fixes and improvements.
Waymark is free, with no features to "unlock". I try to keep the plugin well supported, so please feel free to reach out with any questions or feedback.
With Waymark enabled, click on the "Maps" link in the sidebar to create and edit Maps. Once you are happy with your Map, copy the Waymark shortcode and add it to your content.
Yes, here.
Yes, please view the Documentation.
While Google Basemaps can be added to Waymark, Waymark does not use the Google Maps API (it uses Leaflet). There are other plugins available that are made specifically for Google Maps.
Please! Waymark is localization ready, translation contributions are greatly appreciated.
Waymark relies on input from it's users, thank you to everyone for providing feedback :)
A big thank you to the following projects and their contributors. Without their work this plugin would not be possible:
- WordPress
- OpenStreetMap
- Leaflet
- jQuery
- mapbox/togeojson
- Ionicons
- Font Awesome
- Leaflet.Editable
- Leaflet.Sleep
- leaflet-control-geocoder
- leaflet-elevation
- tokml
- togpx
1. Add Overlays (Markers, Lines and Shapes) to create detailed interactive Maps. You can import/export from GPX/KML/GeoJSON.
2. Every Overlay can be given a title, image and description. Marker images can be displayed as a gallery.
3. Waymark features a clean, intuative Editor for creating and editing your Maps. Overlays are customisable using Types, which allow you set styles once (colours/icons etc.), so you can simply select it when you are adding to the Map.
4. If you have more than one Basemap, you can switch between them when viewing the Map. Overlays can be shown/hidden by Type.
5. Use Meta to provide extra information about your Maps. Meta inputs are customisable and can be grouped.
6. The Map Details page displays an image gallery, elevation profile, export options, featured image and all Meta provided for the Map.
8. Organise Maps with Collections and display multiple Maps at once using the Shortcode. Collections can be nested and Maps can be associated with multiple Collections.
- Fixed a bug where the Export feature did not work correctly when embedding multiple Maps. Thanks to shenki on GitHub.
