What’s new in BWD Map Masking 2.3
Version 2.3 · Jan 6, 2026

What it does
Plain map embeds rarely match a site's look, and building a custom country-shaped graphic usually means opening a design tool and exporting a new file every time. This addon handles that inside Elementor. It includes masks for 195 countries plus 2 world map presets, and you can place any image inside the chosen shape. That makes it simple to highlight a single country, mark regions you serve, or add a world map graphic that uses your own photos or brand colors.
The addon works as a widget in the Elementor editor, so you set the mask, swap the image and adjust width and height from the usual panel. The masked maps are responsive, so they adapt to different screen sizes, and they work across major browsers. A POT file is included for translating the addon's text into other languages. It fits travel blogs, business directories, local guides and any Elementor site that needs geographic visuals presented in a more designed way.
Best for
- Travel blogs highlighting destinations by country
- Business directories and local guide websites
