  • Maps that blend into your page

    A map with hard borders can look like a box dropped into the page. With soft edges it fades into the background of your site. This is the climb from Borso del Grappa to Campocroce, with a marker every kilometer.

    Map of the route “Maps that blend into your page”: 8,14 km, 1.055 m of climbing and 1.852 m of descent, elevation between 294 m and 1.130 m, time 01:55:02. It starts at 45.83726, 11.78062 and ends at 45.82362, 11.79941 (latitude, longitude).

    Total distance: 8.17 km
    Total climbing: 1055 m

    Turn it on for every map in the settings, or for a single map in the block. If the map sits on a colored background, give the plugin that color with fadeedges="#f4f1ea". The zoom buttons and the map credits stay sharp.

    Made with WP GPX Maps, the free WordPress plugin for GPX maps and elevation charts.

  • Pro preview: sketch and treasure map themes

    This is a preview of WP GPX Maps Pro, an add-on coming soon. The free plugin stays complete and keeps growing.

    Not every map has to look like a road map. For blogs, kids’ trails and treasure hunts there are two themes. Sketch draws the track and the elevation profile as if with a pencil on paper:

    Map of the route “Pro preview: sketch and treasure map themes”: 4,38 km, 145 m of climbing and 376 m of descent, elevation between 1.317 m and 1.580 m, time 01:13:54. It starts at 45.91689, 11.84247 and ends at 45.89153, 11.82184 (latitude, longitude).

    Total distance: 4.38 km
    Total climbing: 145 m

    Treasure map turns the route into an old parchment, with a dashed red trail, a compass rose and an X at the finish:

    Map of the route “Pro preview: sketch and treasure map themes”: 6,49 km, 1.236 m of climbing and 88 m of descent, elevation between 606 m and 1.753 m, time 01:53:52. It starts at 45.86700, 11.83435 and ends at 45.87277, 11.80264 (latitude, longitude).

    Total distance: 6.51 km
    Total climbing: 1236 m
