== Description ==
Let your visitors add locations directly from within the map. They drop a marker on the map and provide some location details. After submit the location proposal will be "pending" and wait for your review approval to get published.


[Demo](https://www.open-user-map.com/demo/)


The map is based on [Leaflet JS](https://leafletjs.com/) and offers you many free map styles. So you do not need an API Key, Access Token or any other external registration. There are no API request limits. 

Adding locations (backend and frontend) is as simple as dropping a location marker on a map. You can search for addresses worldwide to quickly find the right spots. Use the Gutenberg Block to integrate your map or place the shortcode anywhere on your site. Close by locations will group together in clusters. This is optional.

**Your visitors can add locations directly inside the map (frontend):** 
Just by clicking a "+"-Button a form will popup to let them enter location details the same comfortable way you do it in the backend. After submit the location proposal will be "pending" and wait for your review approval to get published.
