Works perfectly with images, text even with different languages

Not responsive!

Currently the world uses the phone more than a computer, if this plugin is not responsive, why use it? it’s useless. It’s a shame because it’s excellent. I hope you can fix it. BR

Great with several business locations

We have 5 Salon Suite Rental locations in the Las Vegas Valley. The Google maps plugin is great for not confusing the locations. Nothing would work better and be more understandable for our potential

Amazing support

I’ve used another Google Maps plugin for a long time, but because of the cost difference, I decided to give WP Google Map a try. And I must say, I have never received faster or better support for ANY
