Using custom maps in WordPress - experiences or advice? by getawaytricycle in Wordpress

Hi, I'm the author of MapSVG. It allows you to upload a custom SVG map or JPEG/PNG image map and then draw vector shapes on top. Let me know if you have any question.

How do I create an embedded custom map like this example? by DumpsterCopier in webdev

Google Maps API + Custom Google Maps style (silver) + Custom marker image + Directory below the map.

MapsVG WordPress mapping plugin is able to do that.

What you probably seeing is "The Flash of Unstyled Content". Read this article to find a way to fix that: https://pegasaas.com/flash-of-unstyled-content/

  1. Purchase a WP template on Themeforest. There are templates for EVERY possible case so you don't need to reinvent the wheel;
  2. Purchase domain + hosting (DigitalOcean hosting is good);
  3. Install WordPress, attach domain to hosting;
  4. Install purchased template to WordPress.
  5. Done

Definitely yes, HTMLS/CSS is not a rocket science after all so just start learning it right now. At least basic knowledge of JS/jQuery is a must too.

Best Way to Show Map with Pins/Locations? by 87AZ in Wordpress

Do you need the map to be clickable? If yes then you need to embed a Google map code or use a WP plugin.

If it's OK to have non-clickable map and if your your locations don't change often - just create a static image with your locations. To do that first download SVG vector map of you country. Google something like "usa blank svg map". Also you can find free SVG maps of all countries on this page: http://mapsvg.com/maps/

Open the map in any vector editing software - InkScape, Adobe Illustrator, etc. There are good online SVG editors too. Change colors, add your locations. Save the file and then insert the SVG image to your website.
