Mapplic
What Mapplic is
Mapplic converts SVG, PNG or JPG files into interactive maps for websites and apps. Users can upload custom image or vector maps, or choose built-in geographic maps, then add clickable locations and a filterable directory. Multiple files enable multi-level maps, and visitors can zoom, pan or use fullscreen viewing. Location data can be imported or exported as CSV, or synced from a published CSV. Mapplic is available as cloud hosting or a self-hosted WordPress plugin, which requires an existing WordPress installation. Cloud-hosted Professional maps add A-B wayfinding that calculates the shortest path, plus map usage analytics. Map events can be forwarded to Google Analytics 4; an event listener can also connect to Matomo, Plausible, Google Tag Manager or a custom endpoint. A JavaScript API reference is available. Basic costs $8 a month per map, and Professional costs $24 a month per map. The WordPress edition costs 189.00 USD once. Each map gets seven free test days without a credit card, and users can create two maps free before subscribing to publish.
