## Description

**Max Interactive Maps** adds a bundled SVG world map to WordPress. Place pins with
a visual editor, choose their labels, destination URLs, colors and icons, then embed
the published map using its shortcode. Maps do not require a third-party map service,
map tiles or an API key.

#### Key Features

 * **Drag-and-Drop Pin Placement** – Add and position pins on the bundled world 
   map
 * **Percentage-Based Positioning** – Pin anchors scale with the map’s SVG canvas
 * **5 Pin Icon Styles** – Choose from Simple Dot, Teardrop, Star, Flag, or Pushpin
   designs
 * **Custom Color Controls** – Set land color, water/background color, border color,
   and individual pin colors
 * **Responsive Maps** – Maps resize with their container and use smaller icons 
   on narrower screens; crowded labels may need author adjustments
 * **Place Structured Data** – Labeled pins contribute Place entries to ItemList
   JSON-LD; geographic coordinates are not generated automatically
 * **No Map-Service API** – The map is bundled locally; WordPress supplies the editor
   libraries
 * **Keyboard Controls** – Focus and edit pins from the keyboard, including arrow-
   key positioning and a managed settings dialog
 * **Save Feedback** – Clear warnings for rejected or conflicting map edits and 
   protected damaged records

#### Use Cases

 * Travel blogs showing visited destinations
 * Business locations and branch offices
 * Event locations
 * Real estate property maps
 * Tourism and attraction maps
 * Educational geography content

#### How It Works

 1. Create a new map from the Max Interactive Maps admin menu
 2. Add pins by clicking “Add Pin” and drag them to your desired locations
 3. Double-click pins, or focus a pin and press Enter or Space, to set its URL, label,
    color, icon and font options
 4. Publish and copy the shortcode
 5. Paste the shortcode into a post, page or widget that processes WordPress shortcodes

## Installation

 1. Upload the `max-interactive-maps` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to ‘Max Interactive Maps’ in your admin menu to create your first map

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require an API key?

No. The bundled map does not require a map-service API key, tile server or geocoding
service.

### Are the maps responsive?

Maps resize with their container and pins use percentage anchors. Long labels, closely
spaced pins and theme styles can affect the final layout; review the map in its 
intended page layout.

### Can I customize the map colors?

You can customize land, water/background and border colors. Each pin can also have
its own color.

### How many pins can I add?

The plugin does not enforce a pin limit. Readability and responsiveness depend on
the map’s content and layout; no universal performance threshold has been established.

### What does an embedded map add to a page?

Each embed includes the inline world SVG and its pin markup. Map pages also load
the plugin’s frontend CSS and JavaScript. Page size and rendering cost depend on
the number of embeds, pins and labels as well as the surrounding site. No fixed 
page-speed or zero-impact guarantee is made.

### Will existing maps and shortcodes keep working after this update?

Existing maps and `[mximap_map id="123"]` shortcodes need no migration or bulk resave.
Back up your site before updating and reload any open map editors afterward. If 
a save is rejected or a damaged record is protected, review the warning rather than
clearing or repeatedly resaving the map.

### What licence and map data does the plugin use?

The plugin retains its GNU GPL version 2 or later licence; the full version 2 text
is included in `LICENSE.txt`. The bundled map’s country geometry numerically matches
Natural Earth’s public-domain data. Source evidence and the unknown original SVG
conversion history are recorded in `NOTICE.txt`.
