Works great - good support

Perfect plugin for displaying waypoints, routes, and tracks on OSM maps, combined with fast and reliable support from the developers.
Great Performance and Outstanding Support
By arma88 on April 20, 2026
I’m very satisfied with the OSM plugin. It offers great performance, especially considering that it’s free. What stands out the most is the support. They are always quick to respond and genuinely helpful whenever issues come up. Highly recommended!
Great Free Plugin for Geo-Tagging Posts
By acrockofschmidt on February 2, 2026
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.
Great implementation of OSM!!
By tdebaillon on October 30, 2025
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.

Nice Plugin! Nettes Plugin!
By argonaut4416 on December 30, 2023
Wir benutzen OSM, um koordinatenmarkierte Beiträge auf Übersichtskarten zu zeigen, und um automatisch generierte Koordinatenlisten sowohl als Einzelpunkte als auch als Routen darzustellen. Funktioniert perfekt!
We're using OSM to show geotagged articles on overview maps and to show automatically generated koordinate lists as points or as routes on maps. Works perfectly!
