Getlocations Lite for WordPress allows you to create a default map using a form to help set the many features available.

It uses the software from https://leafletjs.com/ to create the maps and https://github.com/leaflet-extras/leaflet-providers to enable different map providers

There is support for the following Leaflet plugins:

  • Leaflet.awesome-markers https://github.com/lvoogdt/Leaflet.awesome-markers
  • leaflet-control-geocoder https://github.com/perliedman/leaflet-control-geocoder
  • leaflet.fullscreen https://github.com/brunob/leaflet.fullscreen
  • leaflet.kml https://github.com/windycom/leaflet-kml
  • leaflet.latlng-graticule https://github.com/cloudybay/leaflet.latlng-graticule
  • leaflet.layerscontrol-minimap https://github.com/jieter/Leaflet.layerscontrol-minimap
  • Leaflet.MagnifyingGlass https://github.com/bbecquet/Leaflet.MagnifyingGlass
  • Leaflet.markercluster https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.markercluster
  • Leaflet.MousePosition https://github.com/ardhi/Leaflet.MousePosition
  • Leaflet.Pancontrol https://github.com/kartena/Leaflet.Pancontrol
  • Leaflet.Terminator https://github.com/joergdietrich/Leaflet.Terminator
  • Leaflet.zoomslider https://github.com/kartena/Leaflet.zoomslider

These can be enabled on the Plugins settings page. This will make them available to any map where they can be enabled and configured. The settings for the Default map will provide a starting point for any maps created using shortcodes.

There are 65 markers builtin and many more can be made available by installing the font-awesome plugin, either from the URL below or by typing ‘Font Awesome’ in the search on the Add Plugins page.
The awesome-markers Leaflet plugin is well worth enabling too.

Getlocations Lite fully supports WordPress shortcodes and also supports a good many map providers, most of them free. There are also a number of Search engines available.

Getlocations Lite allows multiple maps on one page, each one defined with shortcodes.
