Rocket Maps plugin for WordPress

Rocket Maps – Searchable Maps, Store Locator & Directory for WordPress

Rocket Maps lets you build fast, fully searchable maps for WordPress in minutes and drop them onto any page with a simple shortcode. Choose your map engine – Google Maps, Mapbox or MapLibre – add high-quality markers, turn them into a filterable listings directory, and let visitors search by category, location, content fields or distance.

Built for speed

Rocket Maps is engineered to stay fast no matter how much data you load:

• Fast to load – a lean, modern frontend and on-demand data loading get your map on screen quickly.
• Fast to display – marker clustering and efficient rendering keep markers, listings and popups smooth while panning and zooming, even with thousands of points.
• Fast to search – server-side filtering returns matching markers and listings in milliseconds, so results and popups appear the instant visitors type.

Three map engines, one plugin

• Google Maps – the classic, with Places address autocomplete and directions.
• Mapbox GL JS – crisp vector maps and custom map styles.
• MapLibre GL + MapTiler – open-source rendering with open tiles.

Switch engines from the settings panel whenever you like – your markers and listings stay exactly where they are.

Powerful, flexible search

Markers & listings directory
