Progress Map WordPress Plugin

Progress Map WordPress Plugin – 1

Progress Map is a WordPress plugin for location-based listings. If your website displays hotel listings, real estate listings, restaurant listings, job listings, store listings or any other kind of listing that refers to locations, Progress Map allows you to list these locations on Google Maps easily and provide your visitors with an easy way to navigate through these on your website.

Your locations will be displayed both as markers on Google Maps as well as on a carousel. The carousel is connected to a map, so that when it’s selected it will target the location on the map making it even easier for your readers to find your listings.

Adding locations to your map is simple. All you need to do is add your location’s coordinates to the form on the “Add new post” page. Progress Map works with both default post types as well as custom post types with no restriction on how many custom post types you can use.

We keep our pricing competitive, but this doesn’t mean we skimp on features. Progress Map is jam-packed with useful features, making our plugin even better value.

Progress Map provides a powerful admin panel from where you will be able to manage everything directly.

With endless customisation options and unique features that can’t be found anywhere else, Progress Map for WordPress is an innovative plugin that offers everything you need – and more.

When we built Progress Map, we paid attention to every detail and left no stone unturned to ensure that our plugin checks all your boxes. Plus, our commitment to adding more features and continually improving Progress Map means that it just keeps getting better.

Sleek, elegant and user-friendly, Progress Map will take your website to the next level.
