Why teams switch
Built for today’s WordPress
Block-first, not legacy
A modern Gutenberg-native builder — not a shortcode UI bolted onto old code.
Data-driven out of the box
Dynamic sources are built in, not a paid add-on stacked on a paid plugin.
Everything in one Pro
One license unlocks locator, directions, heatmaps and all providers — no à-la-carte add-ons.
Painless migration
Import your existing markers from CSV, KML or GPX and keep legacy shortcodes working.
Fast & modern
Lazy-loaded map engines and a responsive, accessible front end.
Kodezen ecosystem
Pairs with StoreEngine, Academy, GemCRM & more — one vendor, one account.
