Choose Your Panel Placement
Your Layout, Your Way
The directions panel is fully flexible. Place it above the map, below it, or to either side. Whatever fits your page design. You can also choose whether the step-by-step list is expanded or collapsed by default, and set default origin and destination addresses so your visitors only need to fill in one field.
- 4 panel placement options: top, bottom, left, right. Or place the dedicated directions shortcode/block anywhere on your map page
- Control whether the step list is shown or hidden on load
- Set a default origin and/or destination address
- Fully responsive across all screen sizes
- Works with any WordPress theme or page layout
Fully Customisable to Match Your Brand
Every visual element of the Directions feature can be configured. Choose your route line colour and weight, upload custom start and end point icons, and tailor the experience to match your site's look and feel, all from within the simple map editor.
Route Line Styling
Set a custom colour, opacity, and stroke weight for the route drawn on your map.
Custom Start & End Icons
Upload your own marker icons for the origin and destination points of any route.
Pre-filled Addresses
Lock the destination to your location so visitors only need to enter where they're coming from.
Step List Behaviour
Choose whether the turn-by-turn step list is expanded or collapsed when the map first loads.

Nearly 3,000 Five-Star Reviews on WordPress.org
Half a million websites rely on WP Go Maps. Here's what store owners, developers, and agencies are saying.
WP Go Maps is so helpful! Matthew Lau walked me through each step to update settings in Google Maps and on the websites... I really appreciate his patience and persistence. I strongly recommend CodeCabin and their WP Go Map plugin.
I've been using this plugin since I was a beginner with WordPress. Now I've tried other map plugins and still, WP Go Maps is the most solid, flexible, and stable.
This plugin is exactly what we needed... the developers went out of their way to write custom scripts to tailor it to our specific needs. Dylan Auty is a star — always willing to go the extra mile. Thank you WPGmaps team!
We stumbled upon it after spending hours manually customizing Google Maps code — this is a life saver! Making markers and categories is super quick and easy... the support team even helped us with a custom toggle solution for marker categories. We'll be using this for many other projects.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before adding Directions to your WordPress map.
Is the Directions feature included in the free version?
Directions is a Pro feature. You can see it working via the live demo, and unlock it with the WP Go Maps Pro add-on.
Which transit modes does the Directions feature support?
WP Go Maps Directions supports driving, walking, cycling, and public transit modes. Users can switch between modes in real time and optionally choose to avoid tolls or highways.
Can I add multiple waypoints to a route?
Yes. The Directions panel lets users add multiple intermediate stops between an origin and destination which is ideal for delivery routes, tour itineraries, or any multi-stop journey.
Can I pre-fill the directions start or end address?
Yes. In the map editor you can set a default origin and/or destination. This is useful when you want the route to always end at your business so visitors only need to enter their own starting point.
Can I customise the colour and thickness of the route line?
Yes. Route line colour, opacity, and stroke weight are all configurable from within the map editor's Directions settings tab, so you can match your brand colours or make the route stand out on any map style.
Where can the directions panel be placed on the map?
The directions panel can be placed above the map, below the map, to the left, or to the right. You can also control whether the step-by-step list is shown or hidden by default.
