## Description

**Photo Map Embed** lets you convert photo GPS (EXIF) data into an interactive map
that you can embed anywhere in WordPress — using a **Gutenberg block** or a **shortcode**.

Upload one or more photos containing GPS coordinates, and the plugin (or the free
builder at [photomapembed.com](https://photomapembed.com)) instantly generates a
shareable map with markers for each location. The embedded maps are lightweight,
privacy-friendly, and work seamlessly on both desktop and mobile.

Free embeds include a small “Powered by Photo Map Embed” credit link.

### ✨ Features

 * Converts photo EXIF GPS to shareable Leaflet maps
 * Interactive map preview in Gutenberg
 * Copy-paste embed or use shortcode
 * Customizable style (`street`, `satellite`, etc.)
 * Lightweight and privacy-friendly
 * Works with images from iPhone, Android, or DSLR (with GPS)

For bulk upload and free online builder, visit [photomapembed.com](https://photomapembed.com).

### Privacy

Photo Map Embed does not collect or store user data. The optional builder (photomapembed.
com) uses privacy-friendly analytics via Umami.

## FAQ

### Where do I get a Map ID?

You can create one for free at [photomapembed.com](https://photomapembed.com) by
uploading your geotagged photos.

### Can I embed maps without GPS in photos?

If a photo has no GPS data, you can manually place markers on the builder page before
embedding.

### Does it track users?

Tracking is **disabled by default**. The builder uses Umami analytics only for aggregate
usage statistics — no personal data is collected.
