Perfect for Indoor and Custom Maps

Custom maps are ideal for any scenario where standard map tiles just do not fit. Upload a floor plan for your office, a layout of your shopping mall, a campus map for your university, or a guide to your theme park. Visitors can browse your space interactively, clicking markers to learn more about each location.

  • Floor plans for offices, museums, and event venues
  • Shopping mall directories with store markers and info windows
  • University and school campus maps with building details
  • Theme park and resort maps with ride and attraction markers
  • Image overlays let you layer images on top of real world maps too

Gaming and Fantasy World Maps

Building an RPG wiki, a game lore site, or an interactive fiction project? Custom maps are a natural fit. Upload your game world artwork, drop markers on towns, dungeons, and landmarks, and let your community explore the world interactively. Category filtering makes it easy for visitors to find exactly what they are looking for.

  • Upload hand-drawn or digital game world artwork as your map
  • Mark towns, dungeons, quests, and points of interest with custom icons
  • Use categories to let visitors filter by location type (towns, bosses, loot)
  • Info windows can hold lore descriptions, images, and links
  • Works beautifully for tabletop RPG, video game, and fantasy communities

After looking for a good plugin option for a client, I found WP Go Maps. It does tons of stuff, is pretty straightforward to implement, and is cost-effective. I was also really pleased to find out that they provide the plugin free of charge to NPOs!

WP Go Maps is so helpful! Matthew Lau walked me through each step to update settings in Google Maps and on the websites... I really appreciate his patience and persistence. I strongly recommend CodeCabin and their WP Go Map plugin.

I ran into a few issues... I reached out to support and got a quick, helpful reply from Dylan. He guided me step by step through the possible causes... everything is now working perfectly. Such committed and knowledgeable support behind an already excellent plugin. Highly recommended!

The perfect plugin for displaying a coverage area on Google Maps by drawing a circle over it. I quickly added the address, location coordinates, created the coverage circle and adjusted it over the area. All shows up as promised. 5 minutes or less.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about custom maps in WP Go Maps.

What are custom maps?

Custom maps let you replace the standard map tiles with any image you upload. You can then place markers, shapes, and info windows on that image, turning it into a fully interactive map your visitors can explore.

What image formats and sizes work best?

You can use PNG, JPG, or WebP images. For best results, use a high resolution image so it stays sharp when zoomed in. Retina display support is built in, so larger images will look great on high-DPI screens.

Do all standard features work on custom maps?

Yes. Everything you can do on a regular map also works on a custom map. That includes info windows, marker listings, categories, filtering, shapes, and all other marker features. Nothing is left out.

Can I use custom maps for games?

Absolutely. Custom maps are popular for RPG world maps, game lore wikis, interactive fiction, and fantasy realm exploration. Upload your game world image, add markers for towns and dungeons, and let visitors explore.

Which map engines support custom maps?

Custom maps work with the OpenLayers and Leaflet map engines. Both are open source and included with the plugin at no extra cost. No API key is needed for custom map usage.

Do I need real world coordinates?

No. When you use a custom map image, the plugin works with pixel-based coordinates instead of latitude and longitude. Just click on your image to place markers wherever you want. No real world coordinates required.
