MapSVG Interactive Vector

Why MapSVG Is More Than Just a Map Plugin

While many WordPress mapping plugins are limited to Google Maps embeds or basic pin markers, MapSVG Pro is a full-blown interactive data engine. It goes beyond location plotting and adds deep functionality like:

• Object management: Create custom objects like stores, apartments, employees, etc.
• Dynamic filtering & searching: Add zip code search, live filters, text search, category filtering.
• Custom database integration: Populate your map using CSV files, JSON feeds, or REST APIs.
• Frontend interaction: Let users search, view details, trigger modals or forms on click.

Whether you’re building a real estate map with apartment floorplans, a store locator with dynamic filters, or a visual data dashboard – you can do it all with MapSVG.

Multiple Map Types, Infinite Use Cases

When it comes to presenting dynamic, location-based content on a website, traditional plugins often fall short. That’s where MapSVG Pro steps in – a full-featured WordPress plugin that goes beyond pins on a map. Originally launched as a jQuery plugin in 2011, it has matured into a robust system that combines vector maps, Google Maps, image maps, and custom data visualization into one powerful platform.

Available to download for free for registered DevTools Club members, this freemium plugin offers capabilities that rival even high-priced SaaS tools. From real estate directories to interactive floorplans and store locators, MapSVG Pro is built for users who need control, creativity, and scale. Here are a few ways it’s being used:

• Real Estate: Interactive apartment buildings, with unit availability linked to listings.
• Retail: Store locator with filters by services, zip code, and Google Maps integration.
• Sales & Territories: Assign reps to states/regions and display data dynamically.
• Museums & Exhibitions: Interactive gallery floorplans with pop-up exhibits.
• Universities: Interactive campus maps showing departments and directions.
• eCommerce: Show available pickup points or delivery coverage zones.

A New Standard in WordPress Mapping

While many WordPress map plugins provide a static Google Map embed or a basic pin layout, MapSVG Pro introduces customizable interactivity and database integration. It gives you tools to create maps that reflect real-time data, user activity, and custom styling – all from within your WordPress dashboard.

Whether you’re working with a sales territory, an office directory, a hospital floorplan, or an interactive art gallery map, this plugin offers the flexibility to build immersive user experiences. With MapSVG, your map becomes the interface – not just a background element.

Seamless Data Integration with Custom Fields

One of MapSVG’s biggest strengths is how it handles data objects. You can create custom fields (text, dropdowns, images, links, and more) and associate them with map regions or markers. Each region or marker can display this info in tooltips, popovers, modals, or sidebars.

The plugin supports integration with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), allowing you to define colors or statuses of map areas based on dynamic ACF values. Combine this with Wpforms or other shortcode-enabled plugins, and you have a fully interactive interface for collecting and presenting data.

Interactivity, Filtering, and UX Enhancements

MapSVG delivers a rich user experience.

• Show lists of objects beside the map
• Group markers into clusters
• Filter data with search bars, dropdowns, or zip code filters
• Display images in a slider or lightbox with the MapSVG Gallery addon
• Use drill-down functionality (e.g., Country > State > City > Property)

It even includes proximity search so users can find nearby locations based on their device’s GPS — a crucial feature for store finders or field service teams.

Free vs Pro: What You Get

Even the free version of MapSVG is powerful, offering SVG maps, Google Maps, and basic interactivity. But the Pro version takes things much further:
