I had a problem with the API being rejected. Although it resolved itself, it was good to see that the Dev responded to my post really quickly! Thanks!

Very easy to use and simple plugin for maps
If only all WP plugins were that simple
by Miro J·1 year ago·1 reply
This is one of the easiest plugins to use and set up. In the desire to add many features, other developers make theirs very complicated and heavy.
If you use Gutenberg (new versions of WP), this is the one to install. Period!
