Mapplic - Custom Interactive Map jQuery Plugin 8.4.1

The Mapplic – Custom Interactive Map jQuery Plugin is a highly popular and versatile commercial library designed for developers and designers who need to create custom, interactive maps or floorplans for any website, regardless of whether it runs on WordPress, a custom CMS, or static HTML.

It is one of the top-selling plugins for this purpose on CodeCanyon.

🗺️ Core Functionality

Mapplic's main strength is its ability to transform any static image or vector file into a fully functional, interactive map.

Custom Map Support: It can use any image file format as a map base, including:

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics): Ideal for creating areas that are individually clickable and highlightable (like regions, states, or floor sections).

JPG/PNG (Raster Images): Used when you just need to place pins on a static background.

Geographic & Custom Maps: You can create both standard maps (countries, continents—it includes 15+ built-in geographic maps) and highly custom, non-geographic maps, such as:

Building Floorplans (shopping malls, hospitals, offices, airports).

Event Maps (festivals, camps, conferences).

Real Estate Maps (residential lots).

Fantasy Maps (for games or literature).

✨ Key Features and Interactivity

The plugin provides a rich set of tools to enhance user interaction:

Unlimited Landmarks (Pins): Easily place markers (pins) on the map to highlight points of interest (POIs).

Tooltips and Lightboxes: When a landmark or map area is clicked, a customizable tooltip or a lightbox modal appears, displaying rich content (title, description, images, links).

Unlimited Floors/Levels: Perfect for multi-story buildings, allowing the user to switch between different floorplans seamlessly while maintaining the same view state.

Zoom and Pan: Includes full support for interactive zooming and panning for detailed exploration of the map.

Directory and Filtering: You can enable a built-in, searchable, and filterable directory (sidebar list) of all landmarks, helping users quickly find locations.

Deep Linking: Every location on the map can be assigned a unique URL, allowing you to link directly to a specific spot on the map.

Wayfinding (Pro/Cloud Feature): In its newer, cloud-hosted versions, it offers A-B wayfinding functionality (finding the best route between two points).

Responsive Design: Fully optimized for touch devices, ensuring the map works smoothly on mobile phones and tablets.

💻 Product Versions

Mapplic is primarily sold in two forms:

jQuery Plugin: The base product, requiring manual installation and configuration using JavaScript and JSON data files. This is used in any non-WordPress environment.

WordPress Plugin: A wrapper version of the jQuery plugin that includes a user-friendly admin interface in the WordPress backend for creating, editing, and managing maps without needing to edit code.

It is the go-to solution for developers who need flexible, custom-drawn map solutions that Google Maps or other tile-based services cannot easily provide.
