AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Out of the Block: OpenStreetMap is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Block category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 7 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Out of the Block: OpenStreetMap works
Show full descriptionShow less
A map block for Gutenberg which uses OpenStreetMap and Leaflet.js. It needs no API keys and works out of the box (or, out of the Block, if you prefer). Benefiting from Gutenberg’s potential, the plugin tries a different take on how to add your locations on the map and rethinks a few things, UX-wise.
Instead of manually adding coordinates for each one of your markers, just click-and-drop them directly on the map. You want to adjust their position? Just drag them wherever you want. And instead of filling-in custom fields to set each marker’s popup content, just open that popup and start writing in it, the Gutenberg way (it supports WYSIWYG editing, with links, images, and all). It even stores the map’s zoom level as you use it so that you don’t have to set it by hand.

Features
No need for API keys. Just install and use it.
Support for multiple markers.
Support for a different icon per marker.
Support for polygons and polylines.
Marker clustering: group nearby markers into clusters that expand as you zoom in.
Dead-simple interface. Don’t search for coordinates and don’t get overwhelmed by too many fields when using multiple markers. Just point and click on the map to add your marker where you want it and edit it’s popup content directly from there.
Place search. Find locations by typing keywords.
Remembers the zoom that you set when adding the markers and stores it so that you don’t set it by hand (which you can do anyway if you prefer).
AI integration which allows you to add markers by using commands in natural language. Just say “please” to activate (e.g. “Please, show me where GOT was filmed”). Requires an API key from an AI Provider, or a site-level AI connector on WordPress 7.0+. Read more.
Query Maps: Supports creating a map out of maps added on other posts or post types. This can be quite powerful when, for example, you have a custom post type for “Places” with each place having its own map, and you want to dynamically gather-up all the places on a single map.
Shortcode support: You can use the shortcode [ootb_query] as an alternative way to use the aforementioned Query Maps feature (see the FAQ for more info).
Support for a location custom field, which can be used to store a post’s or post type’s location, following the Geodata guidelines. Read more in the v.2.8.0 release notes.
Adjust the map height.
Change the default marker icon with a custom one.
Enable or disable map dragging.
Enable or disable touch zoom.
Enable or disable double-click zoom.
Enable or disable scroll wheel zoom.
Set a minimum and maximum limit that the user can zoom on the frontend. Setting the same value to both fields will lock the zoom at that level.
Support for other Layer Providers: MapBox (using your own API key) and Stamen.
Option to export locations in a JSON file
Option to import locations from a JSON file
