Visualise Data with Heatmap Layers
Turn raw data points into beautiful, colour-coded heatmap layers on your WordPress map. Instantly spot patterns, density hotspots, and concentration areas without cluttering your map with individual markers.
Heatmap Use Cases
Population Density
Sales Activity
Event Hotspots
Foot Traffic
Visualise Data Density on Your Map
Heatmaps transform your raw geographic data into a beautiful colour gradient overlay. Instead of scattering hundreds of markers across the map, a heatmap shows where your data is most concentrated. Red and warm colours highlight high density areas while cooler greens and blues fade into the background.
- Instantly reveal patterns, clusters, and hotspots in your data
- Perfect for population density, sales regions, event activity, and foot traffic
- Colour gradients make complex data easy for visitors to understand
- Works beautifully alongside regular markers on the same map
Fully Configurable to Suit Your Data
Every heatmap is different, and WP Go Maps gives you the controls to get it just right. Adjust gradient colours, point radius, and layer opacity so the heatmap fits your design and communicates your data clearly. You can even add multiple heatmap datasets to a single map for layered analysis.
Adjustable Radius
Control how far each data point spreads on the map for tighter or broader coverage.
Opacity Control
Fine-tune the transparency so the underlying map remains visible beneath the heatmap.
Multiple Datasets
Add several heatmap datasets to a single map, each with its own styling options.

Nearly 3,000 Five-Star Reviews on WordPress.org
Half a million websites rely on WP Go Maps. Here's what store owners, developers, and agencies are saying.
I spent countless days testing the myriad of Google Maps plugins available for WordPress, and when I first tried WP Go Maps I immediately knew my search was over. I needed something powerful and customisable while still being super easy and intuitive for my client to use. After using the free version for a short while, I was so impressed I decided to buy the Pro version — it was worth every cent (and more).
We started using WP Go Maps back in 2016... faithfully chugging along for six years. We recently got the updated version with assistance from Matthew and are now good-to-go! Thanks for a great plug-in!
The plugin is excellent for customers to find our retailers... the pro version is worth the expense. They're quick to respond — Nick got back to me in less than 24 hours.
We use the plugin to display our location, partner locations and emergency sites... Dylan Auty implemented a hotfix and the maps were online within minutes. Best support you can possibly hope for.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about heatmaps in WP Go Maps.
What are heatmaps?
Heatmaps are data visualisation layers that use colour gradients to show density and concentration across a geographic area. Warm colours like red and orange indicate high density, while cooler greens represent lower activity.
How do I add heatmap data points?
You add and manage heatmap data points directly from the WP Go Maps map editor. The admin panel includes a searchable, paginated, sortable table so you can organise your data points efficiently.
Which map engines support heatmaps?
All three engines are supported: Google Maps, Leaflet, and OpenLayers. You can switch between engines at any time without losing your heatmap data or configuration.
What can I customise?
You can customise the gradient colours, the radius of each data point, and the overall opacity of the heatmap layer. Each heatmap dataset can have its own independent settings.
Do heatmaps work with markers on the same map?
Yes. Heatmap layers are completely independent of markers, polygons, and other map features. You can display a heatmap and markers together on the same map without any conflict.
Is the heatmap feature included in the free version?
No. Heatmaps are a Pro feature. You will need the Pro add-on to create and display heatmap layers on your maps.
