What’s new in MapSVG Pro 8.16.1
Version 8.16.1
Latest
- SecurityHardened WordPress post-type REST routes with additional access checks.
- FixedFilters — public maps no longer get stuck on a loading spinner when a cached page sends an expired WordPress REST nonce; those reads retry without the stale nonce.
- FixedCSV import — file uploads honor the selected ID column so existing region rows update instead of duplicating. "No ID" appends as expected, and Excel BOM headers no longer create blank IDs.
- FixedLoading spinner — the spinner sits next to the loading text, empty text is hidden, and the preloader is visible before JavaScript runs.
- FixedMobile toolbar — Map/List icons show correctly when Shadow DOM is enabled.
- FixedPinch-zoom — pinch-zoom no longer fails on some iPad browsers (including DuckDuckGo).
- FixedUSA counties map — corrected the Orange County spelling.
What it does
Showing location data as a plain list makes it hard for visitors to see where things are. This plugin lets you turn that data into a clickable map instead. You can upload your own SVG or image map, or start from built-in templates for store locators, office maps and geographic charts. Regions and markers can show tooltips and highlights on hover or click, so visitors get details without leaving the page. Floorplans for offices, exhibitions and event venues work the same way, with clickable zones and information overlays.
The directory side is where the plugin handles larger sets of locations. Map points connect to an editable database, so you can change addresses and descriptions without rebuilding the map, and region data can be brought in through CSV import. Visitors can filter points by category or search the data, and the map and list views adapt to desktops, tablets and phones. The map editor works without coding, while an API and developer options are there for deeper customization and connections to other plugins or applications.

Features
Vector and image maps
Upload custom SVG maps for scalable graphics or use image-based maps, which lets you map anything from countries and counties to a building layout.
Store locator and directory
Link map locations to a searchable, filterable directory so visitors can find stores, offices or service points from either the map or the list.
Tooltips, markers and highlights
Add markers, highlight regions and show detailed information in tooltips that appear when a visitor hovers over or clicks a part of the map.
Database for location content
Keep location details and descriptions in an editable database, and update them later without redrawing or rebuilding the map itself.
Filtering and search
Visitors can filter points on the map by category or search through the data to narrow results down to the places they care about.
Floorplans and infographics
Build interactive layouts for office spaces, exhibitions or event venues, with clickable zones and overlays that hold detailed information for each area.
CSV import for regions
Import region data from CSV files, using a selected ID column so existing rows update instead of creating duplicates.
API and localization
Developer options and an API allow custom integrations, and the plugin is ready for localization when you present map data in multiple languages.

Questions about MapSVG Pro
Can I use my own map graphics?
Yes. You can upload custom SVG maps or image-based maps. There are also built-in templates for common uses such as store locators, office maps and geographic charts, so you can start from one of those if you prefer.
Does it work as a store locator?
It does. Map locations connect to a directory that visitors can search and filter by category. This makes it suitable for helping people find stores, offices, service points or other places of interest on your site.
Do I need coding skills to build a map?
No. The map editor is built for creating and customizing maps without code. Developers who want more control can use the API and developer options to customize behavior or connect the maps to other plugins and applications.
Will the maps work on phones and tablets?
The maps and floorplans use a responsive design meant for desktops, tablets and mobile devices. On smaller screens there is a mobile toolbar for switching between map and list views, and pinch-zoom is supported.
