VenoMaps – OpenStreetMap & Privacy-Friendly Geo Maps
Beschrijving
Tired of complex Google Maps API keys, fees, and tracking cookies? VenoMaps is the lightweight, privacy-focused solution for displaying beautiful, responsive, and interactive maps on your WordPress website.
Based on OpenLayers and OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, VenoMaps ensures quick setup and full compliance with modern privacy standards, as the default map styles require NO API KEY and are free from tracking.
Key Advantages (The VenoMaps Difference)

- 🍪 Privacy-First: The default maps are loaded without any tracking cookies, making GDPR compliance easier.
- ⚡ Performance-Focused: A lightweight library ensures fast loading times compared to heavy Google Maps scripts.
- 🎨 Fully Customizable: Upload your custom markers, create multi-stop routes, and choose from multiple map styles, or add your own custom tilesets.
Features
- Live Marker Search: Allow users to instantly filter locations by searching marker titles and infobox content. Perfect for store locators and directories.
- Custom Routes: Create and display custom routes by selecting markers as waypoints. Ideal for travel blogs, event maps, and delivery routes.
- Gutenberg Block for easy insertion into posts and pages.
- Manage custom markers using the WP Media Library.

FAQ
Does this plugin support Google Maps?
No. VenoMaps was built specifically as a robust, lightweight, and privacy-friendly alternative to Google Maps, relying on OpenStreetMap and OpenLayers for core functionality.
Do I need an API key to use VenoMaps?
No. The default map styles are loaded without the need for any API key, registration, or cost. If you wish to use premium or custom map styles from third-party services like Maptiler or Stadia Maps, you will need to obtain a key from those services.
Can I use it to create a Store Locator?
Yes, absolutely. With features like powerful marker search, CSV import for multiple locations, and marker clustering, VenoMaps is a perfect tool for building a “Store Locator” map or any map with multiple points of interest.
How do I create a Route?
You can create a new route from the map editor screen. Simply add markers to your map to act as waypoints, then create a new Route and select the desired markers in the order you want them to appear. The plugin will automatically draw the path on the map.
How do I place a map inside my template file?
To display a map outside the post editor or widgets, use the following PHP code inside your template file:
echo do_shortcode(‘[venomap id=”xxx” height=”xxx”]’);
Replace the shortcode parameters with the ones generated by the plugin on the map’s edit page.
