## Description

Extends the WordPress Plugin [Leaflet Map](https://wordpress.org/plugins/leaflet-map/)
with Leaflet Plugins and other functions.

### Functions

 * Create an elevation chart profile of a track. There are also acceleration, slope,
   speed and tempo chart profiles. You can also place multiple tracks on one map.
 * By default Leaflet Map uses tiles from openstreetmap.org or from the tile servers
   you configured. You can use more and switch between them.
 * Many markers on a map become confusing. You can cluster and shape them.
 * You can use Awesome markers.
 * You can group the elements on the map by criteria and show/hide them.
 * Create a “featured map”.
 * Create an overview map with geo-locations provided in the pages and posts.
 * Get a tooltip when hovering over an element.
 * You can design a choropleth map.
 * You can display the map in fullscreen mode.
 * Reset the map.
 * Gesture handling
 * Manage your files for Leaflet Map.
 * Help to migrate from [WP GPX Maps](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-gpx-maps/).
 * and more functions.

## Installation

 * First you need to install and configure the plugin [Leaflet Map](https://wordpress.org/plugins/leaflet-map/).
 * Then install this plugin.
 * Go to Settings – Leaflet Map – Extensions for Leaflet Map and get documentation
   and settings options.

## FAQ

### Is there a widget or other support for the editor?

 * Unfortunately both plugins – Leaflet Map and Extensions for Leaflet Map – only
   work with shortcodes.
 * If you have any questions please ask in the [forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/extensions-leaflet-map/).

### My gpx file is not displayed!

 * Is the URL correct?
 * Does the webserver return the correct mime type (application/gpx+xml)?
    Put in
   your `.htaccess`:
 * AddType application/gpx+xml gpx
    RewriteRule .*\.gpx$ – [L,T=application/gpx+
   xml]

### It doesn’t work!

 * Are you using any caching plugin? Try to exclude at least these js files from
   caching:
    - /wp-content/plugins/extensions-leaflet-map/leaflet-plugins/leaflet-elevation-*
    - /wp-content/plugins/extensions-leaflet-map/leaflet-plugins/leaflet-gesture-
      handling-*
 * Are you using any plugin to comply with the GDPR/DSGVO? There might be a problem
   with that.
 * If you use a caching plugin and a GDPR/DSGVO plugin you need to distinguish whether
   the user has accepted the cookie or not.
 * Please ask in the [forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/extensions-leaflet-map/)!

### Apropos GDPR/DSGVO

 * If you need a plugin for this try [DSGVO snippet for Leaflet Map and its Extensions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/dsgvo-leaflet-map/).
 * If you use [Complianz | GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent](https://wordpress.org/plugins/complianz-gdpr/)
   see [here](https://complianz.io/leaflet-maps/).

One day I asked a question about one of the Leaflet plugins, the next day he completed
integrating and included customizations! I’ve had some responsive developers, but
this was pretty close to a “best ever” ranking!

plugin makes the work way easier!
