 The WordPress Plugin Review Team requires an opt-in feature for attribution

Please enable the checkbox “Display attribution (credit) in the map.” in the WP 
OSM plugin shortcode generator, or add attribution manually to your map. Otherwise,
this may violate map or data licenses, for example [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright).

This plugin enables GPX and KML upload!

 * OpenStreetMap: [OpenStreetMap License](https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright)*
OpenTopoMap: [OpenTopoMap License](https://opentopomap.org/about) * Stamen Maps:

## Installation

 1. Upload OSM folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Generate the OSM shortcode when you write your post / page

IMPORTANT:
 Personal data (eg. gpx files) must not be stored in the plugins/osm 
folder but in the upload folder!

## FAQ

### Do I need any key or any registration to show maps in my blog

No!

### I do not see my gpx file / marker file in the map ?

The file must be located at the same address as your blog.
 Do not include formatting
tags (such as href) in the shortcode.

I use this plugin to geo-tag my campground and attraction reviews. It works very
well for this and is free. I figured out how to make modest modifications to the
map presentation as well as adding my own custom icons. It does have some quirks
but nothing that prevents it from meeting my needs.

There are not so many plugins that allow complete and easy implementation of OSM
with custom markers and descriptions. I LOVE it!

What the title says, we have been using the plugin for over a year, and had issues
with recent updates. After raising the issue, it was acknowledged and addressed 
in a few hours. Our maps all show fine again, it looks great.
