Exceptional Support with this plugin

By jamiebreynolds on December 13, 2021

Chris has worked with me closely to get this map up and running on our site. This is our company's second purchase of this map, but the first time we needed some support in getting it going. Support is exceptionally responsive and patient, I cannot say enough good things about this company. The map itself is perfect for our needs; fully customizable including the option to directly edit the code if needed.

Good Plugin - Great support

I really like the Plugin and it does what it should.

Had a little problem with the responsive Design (see support) and got an answer with a solution within several minutes.

Thx

Advantage over software-generated maps

By msbozee on September 3, 2016

Awesome plugin and supporting documentation. Great user support. Simplemaps.com has a whole host of additional resources applicable to this plugin.

Using HTML, CSS, and JS/jQuery allows wider customization over software-generated map programs that utilize other methods of visualization, interaction, and data interpretation. For instance, embedding images within hover elements/tooltips is a breeze with this plugin.

Great work, simplemaps!
