!! IMPORTANT !!
 The WordPress Plugin Review Team required us to provide opt-in 
feature to display attribution since it is part of [WordPress Plugin Guidelines](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/#10-plugins-may-not-embed-external-links-or-credits-on-the-public-site-without-explicitly-asking-the-user%e2%80%99s-permission).
So you have to enable the checkbox “Display attribution (credit) in the map.” at
the WP OSM Plugin Shortcode generater or add the attribution manually to your map.
Otherwise it may violate the map or data license, eg [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright).

This plugin enables GPX and KML upload!

Licenses of the maps:
 * OpenStreetMap: [OpenStreetMap License](https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright)*
OpenTopoMap: [OpenTopoMap License](https://opentopomap.org/about) * Stamen Maps:
[Stamen License](http://maps.stamen.com) * BaseMap: [BaseMap License](http://basemap.at)*
Thunderforest (API key): [Thunderforest License](http://www.thunderforest.com/terms/)*
Others: Depends on the map you are including – check it before including it!

## 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 has to be located at the same adress as your blog.
 There must be not format
tag (like 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.
