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!

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.

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).
