Bookmark Locations for Google Maps (add-on for WP Maps Pro) lets visitors save their favorite places with a simple heart icon—inside both the map’s infowindow and the listing panel. Bookmarks are remembered on the same device so users see their saved spots when they return. Setup is quick: drop a small placeholder snippet into your infowindow/listing template and you’re done.
How It Works
- Open your map in WP Maps Pro → find the Infowindow Message for Locations area.
- Insert the bookmark placeholder to show a heart icon in the infowindow.
- (Optional) Listing view: Add the same placeholder in the Listing Item Skin so users can bookmark from the list.
- Publish: Clicking the heart animates and saves the location; returning users see their bookmarks immediately.
Key Features
- Heart icon bookmarking in both infowindows and listing cards.
- Personalized icons — use custom icons/styles for a branded look.
- Persistent on device — bookmarks are remembered per browser/device (no cross-device sync).
- “My Bookmarks” UX — surface saved items quickly via the add-on’s bookmark listing/search.
- Native integration with WP Maps Pro; fully responsive output.
