Create your first map

Let’s build and publish a simple map in about five minutes.

1. Go to Maps → Add New to open the builder.
2. In the Provider panel, keep OpenStreetMap (or pick another).
3. Open the Markers panel, click Add marker, and search an address — or click directly on the map to drop a pin.
4. Give the marker a title and description in its popup.
5. Set the starting View (center & zoom) so the map opens where you want.
6. Click Save.

Put it on a page

Two ways to publish:

• Block: edit a page, add the WP Map Block block and pick your map.
• Shortcode: copy the shortcode from the builder toolbar and paste it anywhere.

That’s it — a live, responsive map. Next, learn about popups & custom icons.
