Since v4.23 we support Lima Labs tiles which can be configured as optional layer within Maps Marker Pro.

Usage limits

Lima Labs tiles are FREE for any user needing < 20.000.000 tiles yearly (that is a LOT of tiles). Additional tiles can be purchased in blocks of 5,000,000 for $10 and never expire.

If your map does not get loaded and you see an error like the one above (error details are only visible for admins), this can have the following reasons:

  1. WordPress AJAX endpoint cannot be accessed
    This is the most likely reason and can be either caused by security plugins or c onfiguration in wp-config.php or .htaccess (in root or /wp-admin) which prevent calls to the general WordPress AJAX endpoint at /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
    Accessing that endpoint is needed for maps to load properly, so if this is the case on your site, please remove those restrictions.

Algolia Places sunset its free geocoding service – also used in Maps Marker Pro – on May 31st 2022. This decision was made back in 2020 by Algolia – for more details please check their product blog.

As Algolia Places was the default (keyless) geocoding provider in Maps Marker Pro, you now need to switch to another (keybased) geocoding provider, if you want to continue using the geocoding feature in Maps Marker Pro.

Name + setup tutorialAPI key needed?Rate limits
LocationIQ Geocoding (Default for new installations)NoKeyless geocoding with 1,000 requests/day/IP, 2 requests/second; with personalized free API key up to 5.000 requests/day/IP - larger plans available on demand - details here

Mapbox maps require the use of Mapsbox’s own mapping engine, which conflicts with the mapping engine that our plugin is based on (Leaflet). On top of that, the new Mapbox maps are vector maps, whereas Maps Marker Pro uses raster maps. We therefore don’t have any plans to support the new Mapbox Studio maps at this time. You can continue to use the classic styles for as long as Mapbox provides them, even in Version 4, by adding them as a custom layer.

Maps Marker Pro allows you to easily perform bulk updates on markers by using the integrated import/export feature. Below you will find the documentation for these features. If anything is unclear, please open a support ticket at https://mapsmarker.com/helpdesk and we will be glad to help!

Attention: this tutorial is only valid for Maps Marker Pro version 4.9 or higher! The tutorial for version 4.0 to 4.8 can be found at https://www.mapsmarker.com/kb/user-guide/import-export-40-to-48/


Supported formats

By default, the import and export feature supports GeoJSON and CSV for export and import.

back to index


Copying maps from another site

If you want to transfer your maps and markers from one site to another, it is recommended to use the “Backup/Restore database”-feature from the tools page instead:

back to index


Permissions / Capabilities

By default, only administrators can use the import and export feature on the tools page. If you want other users to also use these features, please navigate to Settings / Capabilities and enable the capability “Use tools” for the required role:

back to index


Export markers

Existing markers can be exported to GeoJSON or CSV format.

In order to export your markers, please navigate to “Import & Export” and select the “Export markers” first:

Select the file type you would like to export, and optionally choose which to export all markers (default) or use the “Filter mode” to export markers from selected maps only or exclude markers from selected maps.

Finish the export by clicking the “Start export” button.

back to index


Import markers

You can use the import feature to bulk add or update markers.

In order to import your markers, please navigate to “Import & Export” and select the Import-tab:

Choose your import file in CSV or GeoJSON format and start the import by clicking the button “start import”. The available options will be explained below.

back to index


File type

Additional remarks:

  • A CSV file must contain at least latitude and longitude columns
  • If other colums are missing, the values for new marker defaults are used

back to index


Test mode

If test mode is on (default), no changes will be made to the database.
It is recommended to first make a “dry run” with test mode on before turning it off. With test mode on, the import file will be checked for warnings and errors. You will be told exactly which values are not valid and be able to correct those before saving the changes to the database:
back to index

Marker mode options

  • “Add markers”:
    Every entry in your input file will be used to create a new marker.
  • “Update Markers”:
    If the ID of an entry in your input file exists, the existing marker will be updated, if the ID does not exist, the marker will be skipped.
  • “Update existing, add remaining”:
    If the ID of an entry in your input file exists, the existing marker will be updated, if the ID does not exist, a new marker will be created.

back to index


Geocoding options

  • “Off”:
    If the values for coordinates (latitude or longitude values) are missing, geocoding for this marker will be skipped
  • “Missing”:
    If the values for coordinates (latitude or longitude values) are missing, the address will be used for geocoding
  • “On”:
    The address given in the input file will be used for geocoding, regardless of latitude or longitude values available (existing latitute and longitude values will be overwritten by the geocoding results).
back to index

Assign to map options

  • “Off”:
    markers will only be assigned according to their assignment info in the input file
  • “Missing”:
    markers with missing assignment info in the input file will be assigned to this map
  • “On”:
    all markers will be assigned to this map, even if they have assignment info in the input file
back to index

Error handling

We integrated several checks which should prevent the import to fail. Anyway if something goes wrong, you will be shown exactly what went wrong, e.g.

Available error messages

  • Security check failed:
  • File missing
  • File could not be read
  • File could not be parsed
  • Invalid GeoJSON/CSV
  • No geographical data found
  • Missing geometry type
  • Missing or incomplete coordinates
  • Missing address for geocoding

If you cannot resolve the issue by yourself, please open a support ticket at https://mapsmarker.com/helpdesk and we will be glad to help!

Starting with v4.7 you can add GPX extensions to your gpx files in order to customize the appearance of your tracks:

You can customize the color, weight and opacity of full tracks or track segments by changing your GPX files according to the examples below.

In order to use the extensions, you also have to add the following namespace declaration to the header of the file:

<gpx [...] xmlns:mmp="https://www.mapsmarker.com/GPX/1/">

Example for customizing full track:

<trk>
    <extensions>
        <mmp:color>#f00</mmp:color>
        <mmp:weight>3</mmp:weight>
        <mmp:opacity>1</mmp:opacity>
    </extensions>
    <trkseg>
        <trkpt></trkpt>
        ...
    </trkseg>
</trk>

Example for customizing track segments:

<trk>
    <trkseg>
        <extensions>
            <mmp:color>#f00</mmp:color>
            <mmp:weight>3</mmp:weight>
            <mmp:opacity>1</mmp:opacity>

Congratulations! You succeeded in installing Maps Marker Pro and now want to create a basic map? Here is how to achieve this:

First you need to create a map, before adding a marker to it. To do so, please select “Add new map” from the menu first:

As a result you will see a new map preview using the default settings:

If you want to use the geolocation feature, you have to activate a geocoding provider first. For a comparison of available geocoding providers and activation tutorials please click here.

Start the geolocation search by entering the address into the field “Find a location” to center the map on the desired location (you can also use manaully zoom and pan the map by using your mouse directly on the map as an alternative, if geocoding is disabled for example):

The map then gets centered on that location and optionally you can also adjust basic parameters of the map like width, height or zoom level and give the map a name:

For advanced customisation, e.g. which Layer to use (like Google Maps, for which a mandatory API registration is necessary), please switch through the available tabs Layers, Controls, Markers etc. You can also tick the radio button “Show advanced settings” for advanced customisation options – for this tutorial though we will continue with basic map settings.

So as next step, finish creating this map by clicking on the Save button. The map now gets reloaded and you can easily add a marker to this map by clicking the link “Add marker”:

This will load the page “Add new marker” where the new marker is already assigned to be displayed on the newly created map with ID78. You can then either use the geolocation search again for setting the exact location of the marker or use drag and drop with your mouse. It is also advised to set a name for this marker and if you want you can customise the icon. Adding an infotext to the popup is also possible by using the editor:

Finish this step again by clicking on the “Save” button to actually create the marker.

If you switch back to the map created before and reload the page, you will see that the marker has now been added to your map:

You can now further customise this map (e.g. hiding the list of markers below the map on the tab “List”) or continue to add this map to your site. The easiest way to do so is to copy the highlighted shortcode and paste it into a post, page or widget:

If you are using the WordPress Gutenberg editor, you can also paste the shortcode as new block or use the dedicated maps block:

Gutenberg step 1 (click on the plus icon to show available blocks):

Gutenberg step 2 (select Maps Marker Pro block):

Gutenberg step 3 (select your map from the dropdown):

Either way finish by publishing your post or page or saving your widget. As a result, the map will now also be displayed on frontend:

That´s it. You´ve now successfully created your first map and added a marker. Optionally you can now further customise your map or add further markers to your map by repeating the steps above, starting from “Add new marker”. There are often several ways in achieving the desired result, this tutorial described the most basic ones.

For further tutorial on how to customise your maps, please have a look at the other content in our knowledge base – if a specific tutorial is missing or if anything is unclear for you, please open a support ticket and we will be glad to help!

Maps Marker Pro has teamed up with LocationIQ to offer enhanced mapping and geocoding capabilities to its users.

When you install Maps Marker Pro, you automatically gain access to LocationIQ’s geocoding APIs, allowing you to perform up to 1.000 geocoding requests per day right out of the box, no additional registration needed. If you’re looking to extend this limit to 5.000 requests per day for free, all you need to do is sign up for an account at https://locationiq.com/register to obtain your personal access token. This access token should then be integrated into your Maps Marker Pro configuration settings. Should you require even larger request limits, LocationIQ offers a range of paid plans at https://locationiq.com/pricing.

LocationIQ’s suite of location-related APIs encompasses various APIs like geocoding, reverse geocoding, map tiles, routing, geolocation, and more. For geocoding specifically, LocationIQ offers a combination of multiple datasets including OSM, OpenAddress, Geonames, and others, providing comprehensive geolocation APIs with global coverage.

Geocoding/ Maps Usage Action
Less than 1000 requests/day Install Maps Marker Pro and start using geocoding/maps!
Between 1000 to 5000 requests/day Signup for LocationIQ’s free tier, get your Access Token from the dashboard & paste it in MapsMarkerPro settings
More than 5000 requests/day Signup for a premium plan with LocationIQ. Get your Access Token from the dashboard & paste it in MapsMarkerPro settings

Forward Geocoding

Geocoding takes a human-readable location, such as an address or place name, and turns it into specific latitude and longitude coordinates. This helps us locate things on a map.

  • Data update Frequency: Daily
  • Address Level: Street level data worldwide

Best Practices:

  • Geocoder works best when addresses are in the format: <house_number>, <street>, <neighborhood>, <city>, <state>, <country>, <postcode>
  • Coordinates have to be passed in the format [Latitude, Longitude]

Maps

LocationIQ uses OpenStreetMap data to power its Dynamic and Static map APIs. LocationIQ Maps include support for Street, Dark and Light Map themes. LocationIQ Maps allow adding markers, lines, polygons, pop-ups and more.

  • Data Source: OSM
  • Data update Frequency: Monthly

Tutorial: How to sign up for a free personalized access token

In order to increase your daily limit from 1.000 to 5.000 requests/day/IP you need to sign up as follows:

  1. Register a user account at https://locationiq.com/register
  2. Login at https://my.locationiq.com/dashboard/login (FYI password free login using Email and token)
  3. Navigate to Account / “API Access Tokens” (one access token should automatically have been created already on registration – if not create one please) – then copy the “Access token” to your clipboard:
  4. Login to your WordPress site and head to Maps Marker Pro / Settings / Geocoding / LocationIQ and paste that key there:
  5. Navigate to Settings / Geocoding / Provider and select LocationIQ as geocoding provider:
  6. Save Settings.

That´s it. Afterwards you can start using LocationIQ geocoding when creating a new map or marker:

By default, maps created with Maps Marker Pro are responsive, which means, the map width adapts to the width of the parent HTML element the map is embedded in. This results e.g. in maps resizing on smaller devices to fit the corresponding width of the mobile device.

If you want to disable the responsive feature for a map, please open the map on backend, switch to the tab “Interaction” and disable the option “Responsive”:

No, since v4.14.3, no extra action is needed if you want to use Maps Marker Pro also on a subdomain. The only preerquisite is, that you activated your license on your main domain first.

If you activated your license on a subdomain first, please follow the tutorial on how to transfer a license to a new domain – once finished, activate your license key on your main domain first (like www.mydomain.com) and you will be able to use Maps Marker Pro on subdomains (like staging.mydomain.com) afterwards too automatically.

If you are getting the error OVER_QUERY_LIMIT when trying to geocode an address with Google set as geocoding provider, this means that you exceeded the Google Maps Platform web services usage limits by:

  • sending too many requests per day or e.g. by
  • sending requests too fast, i.e. too many requests per second

The above problems can be address by combining two approaches:

  1. Lowering usage, by optimizing applications to use the web services more efficiently.
  2. Increasing usage limits, when possible, by purchasing additional allowance for your Google Maps APIs for Work license.

We´d suggest to login to your Google API console and check and adjust your usage limits there.

As an alternative you can switch to another geocoding provider.
