Thanks for your awesome suggestions and taking active part in development. You have more features in mind that aren't baked in yet? Please [send me your feature requests](https://www.open-user-map.com/)! === What does it do? === 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. **FUN feature:** Let your visitors upload sound to their locations. After your approval audio players will show up. 🎵 === 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvIBY48yNgA === List of free Features: === - frontend adding - Admin approval for pending locations - based on Leaflet - no API Keys - multiple map styles - multiple marker styles - locations with images & audio (NEW!) - Shortcode with optional attributes - Gutenberg Block - marker clustering - fullscreen option - custom "Thank you"-message === 🚀 PRO features: === - user gets notified by email after their location has been approved (optional) - restrict "Add location" feature to registered users only (optional) - "auto-publish" for registered users (optional) - add "Add location" feature to WordPress user registration form (optional) - customize max. filesize for image/audio uploads (default: 10MB) - use your own custom marker icon - add a button that relocates the map to the users current location (optional) === A possible use case: === You want to build a map service where your visitors can add locations on their own. This could be a travel blog or a something like our [map with 500+ kite and windsurfing spots worldwide](https://surfspots.locations-and-areas.com). === Another use case: === Offer your audience a soundmap.
