Licenses of the maps:

!! IMPORTANT !!
\nThe WordPress Plugin Review Team required us to provide opt-in feature to display attribution since it is part of WordPress Plugin Guidelines. 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.

OpenStreetMap: OpenStreetMap License
OpenTopoMap: OpenTopoMap License
Stamen Maps: Stamen License
BaseMap: BaseMap License
Thunderforest (API key): Thunderforest License
Others: Depends on the map you are including – check it before including it!

\n","installation":"

Upload OSM folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Generate the OSM shortcode when you write your post / page

IMPORTANT:
\nPersonal data (eg. gpx files) must not be stored in the plugins/osm folder but in the upload folder!

\n","faq":"\n

\nDo I need any key or any registration to show maps in my blog\n\n

No!

\nI do not see my gpx file / marker file in the map ?\n\n

The file has to be located at the same adress as your blog.
\nThere must be not format tag (like href …) in the shortcode.

Spot does not offer the storage of points free of charge for long term. That’s where Spotmap comes into the game:
\nYour WordPress Site will store all positions ever sent. It checks for new positions every 2.5 minutes.
\nIt supports different devices (They can even belong to different accounts).

The map can fetch new points autmatically without relaoding the entire Post.

🆕 Support of Gutenberg block editor. Just type /spotmap and open the settings on the right.

Currently only the GPX colors cannot be cahnged individually inside the block settings.

With a shortcode you can add an embedded map to your post or page. By default it will show all positions ever sent.
\nIf needed the map can show a subset of the data. i.e. the last weekend getaway.

Next planned features (Not necessarily in right order):

\n
grouping of points (partially implemented)
\n
\n
support of other tracking devices (Garmin InReach, …)
\n
\n
Translatable version of the plugin
\n
\n
Full support of the Spotmap block for Gutenberg
\n
\n
delete/move points from the Dashboard
\n
\n
export to gpx files
\n

👉 If you feel like this plugin is missing importants part, let me know. Maybe I have some free time to change this fact. 😉

\n","installation":"

After installing the plugin, head over to your Dashboard Settings > Spotmap. Add a feed by selecting findmespot from the dropdown and hit “Add Feed”.

Now you can enter your XML Feed Id, a name for the feed and a password if you have one. Press “Save”. A few minutes later WordPress will download the points that are present in the XML Feed.

In the mean time you can create an empty map with the Shortcode:
\n [spotmap]

If you use the block editor Gutenberg, you can search for a block named ‘Spotmap’.

🎉 Congrats! You just created your first Spotmap. 🎉

If you use the Block editor make sure to select the map and click on the settings icon in the top right corner, in order to see all settings related to the map.

If you use the shortcode,check the Additional attributes section.
\n👉 If you need help to configure your map, post a question in the support forum. 👈

Additional attributes

If you add new maps, check the FAQ

To fine tune the map, there are some attributes we can pass with the shortcode:

Note: all the Default values of the attributes can be changed in the settings in Dashboard. This comes in handy, if you use several maps on the blog, and you like to configure them all in one place. Of course you can still use the attributes to overide the default values.

Map

\n
maps=opentopomap will show only the opentopomap as map. Default \"openstreetmap,opentopomap\".
\nIf you create a mapbox API Key and store it in the settings page. You can choose other map types as well: mb-outdoors,mb-streets,mb-satelite
\nUse it like this: maps=\"mb-satelite,mb-streets,openstreetmap\" This will show a satelite image as the selected map, but it can be changed to the other two maps (mb-streets, openstreetmap).
\n
\n
map-overlays=openseamap can be added to see the openseamap overlay in the map. (You need to zoom in quite a bit).
\n
\n
height=600 can define the height of the map in pixels.
\n
\n
width=full if you add this the map will appear in full width. Default is normal.
\n
\n
mapcenter=last can be used to zoom into the last known position. Default all. Can be set to 'gpx' to center all GPX files (see below for configurations).
\n

Feeds

\n
splitlines=8 will split the lines between points if two points are sent with a difference greater than X hours. Default 12. Set to 0 if you don’t like to see any line.
\n
\n
date-range-from=2021-01-01 can be used to show all points starting from date and time X. (Can lie in the future).
\n
\n
date-range-to=2022-01-01 19:00 can be used to show all points until date and time X.
\n
\n
auto-reload will auto update the map without the need to reload the page. (This hasn’t been tested much…)
\n
\n
last-point will show the last sent point as big marker, to be easily found. Can also be used with a limited range of colors (yellow,red,green,black,gray,blue) like last-point=red
\n
\n
feeds can be set, if multiple feeds get used. (See example below, if you have only one spot this is not needed)
\n

GPX

The following attributes can be used to show GPX tracks:

\n
gpx-name=\"Track 1,Track 2\" give the tracks a nice name. (Spaces can be used)
\n
\n
gpx-url=\"yourwordpress.com/wp-content/track1.gpx,yourwordpress.com/wp-content/track2.gpx\" specify the URL of the GPX files. (You can upload GPX files to your media library)
\n
\n
gpx-color=\"green,#347F33\" give your tracks some color. (It can be any color you can think of, or some hex values)
\n

If there are areas where tracks overlap each other, the track named first will be on top of the others.

Note: feeds must always match your feed name.
\nThis will show a bigger map and the points are all in yellow:

[spotmap height=600 width=full feeds=\"My Spot Feed\" colors=yellow]\n

This will show a map where we zoom into the last known position, and we only show data from the the first of May:

[spotmap mapcenter=last feeds=\"My Spot\" colors=red date-range-from=\"2020-05-01\"]\n

We can also show multiple feeds in different colors on a same day (from 0:00:00 to 23:59:59):

[spotmap mapcenter=last feeds=\"My first spot,My other Device\" colors=\"gray,green\" date=\"2020-06-01\"]\n

\n","faq":"\n

\nHow do I get my Feed ID?\n\n

You need to create an XML Feed in your spot account. (See here for more details)
\nUnless you like to group devices under one name, it’s good to create one feed per device, so you can manage the devices independently.
\nYour XML Feed id should look similar to this: 0Wl3diTJcqqvncI6NNsoqJV5ygrFtQfBB

\nWhich 3rd Party Services are getting used?\n\n

The plugin uses the following thrid party services:
\n1. From SPOT LLC it uses the Public API to get the points.
\n2. (optionally) TimeZoneDB.com To calculate the localtime of sent positions. Create an account here. Paste the key in the settings page.
\n3. (optionally) Mapbox, Inc. To get satelite images and nice looking maps, you can sign up for a Mapbox API Token. I recommend to restrict the token usage to your domain only.
\n4. (optionally) Thunderforest To get another set of maps. Create an account here. Paste the key in the settings page.
\n5. (optionally) Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) To get the official Topo Maps of NZ create an account here. Paste the key in the settings page.
\n6. (optionally) Géoportail France To get the official Topo Maps of IGN France. Create an account here (french only). Paste the key in the settings page.
\n7. (optionally) UK Ordnance Survey To get the official UK OS maps. Create a free plan here. And follow this guide on how to create a project.

\nCan I use/add other maps?\n\n

Have you created your mapbox/thunderforest API key yet? If not this is a good way to start and get other map styles. See the question ‘Which 3rd Party Services are getting used?’ for details
\nIf you still search for another map: Start a search here and also here.
\nIf you have found a map, create a new post in the support forum.

\nI have a question, an idea, found a bug…\n\n

Head over to the wordpress.org support forum, and ask your question there. I’m happy to assist you! 😊
