AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP Go Maps Block is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Map category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 19 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.

References We make use of a various libraries and 3rd party service providers in order to render maps in your preferred mapping engine. This section will describe each of these in more detail and when they are used.
OpenLayers: Served from a local library file (lib/ol.js & lib/ol.css), provided by OpenLayers. We use this library when you set your block to use OpenLayers (default). You can find the source files on the OpenLayers GitHub.
OpenStreetMap: When you select the OpenLayers engine, a default map tile server is used, which is provided by OpenStreetMap. This is a 3rd party service provider that we rely on to render your map. They may also make use of MapBox for some of their assets.
Google Maps API: If you decide to use Google Maps as your map engine, we will include the Google Maps API as a 3rd party service provider that we rely on to render your maps. In this case, admin map previews are still rendered by OpenLayers and OpenStreetMap.
Nominatim (OpenStreetMap): If you perform an address search within the admin area, we will make use of the OpenStreetMap Nominatim to lookup locations and suggest addresses to you. This is a 3rd party service provider that we rely on for address searches.
