## Installasjon

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` Alternatively, you can upload
    the plugin’s ZIP file via Plugins > Add Plugin in your WordPress admin panel.
 2. After installing the plugin, activate the plugin by clicking the “Activate” button,
    and that’s it! You’re ready to setup your map
 3. Navigate to **MapSamurai Lite > Maps** to set up your first map
 4. Navigate to **MapSamurai Lite > Map Locations** to start creating locations

To display your map on the frontend, use the shortcode generated at the top of your
Map Settings page. It will look like this: `[mapsamurai_map map_id="123" height="
600" width="600"]` (you can edit the height and width as needed). Simply copy and
paste that shortcode anywhere you’d like your map to appear throughout your site.

All steps are covered in detail in [our documentation](https://mapsamurai.com/documentation-lite)

### Why doesn’t MapSamurai Lite use Google Maps?

MapSamurai Lite uses OpenStreetMap instead of Google Maps to avoid API keys, usage
limits, and privacy concerns. This makes maps faster to set up, and free from usage-
based fees or changing terms.

### Who is this plugin made for?

MapSamurai Lite is perfect for WordPress Developers and website owners who need 
to showcase locations on a map. This could be for tour sites, small businesses that
wish to add a store locator, event planners, and more. If you need a straightforward
way to showcase map locations with rich details and media, then this plugin is a
perfect fit.

### What’s included on the front-end maps?

The front end map includes the following features:

• Fully responsive interactive map.
 • Unlimited locations with custom content •
Image and video galleries in clean modal popups • Custom tooltip content: The details
that appear when hovering over each location. • Interactive Location Directory: 
An organized list of locations for easy search. • City and zip-code based search

### Can I create more than one map?

Yes! MapSamurai Lite supports unlimited maps across your site, so build as many 
as you like! Though this free version is perfect for many mapping solutions, [upgrade to MapSamurai Pro](https://mapsamurai.com)
for fully 3D maps, AI generated content, and a ton more features.

### How many locations can I add?

You can add as many locations as you like to any of your maps, each with their own
unique gallery and location details.

### Is MapSamurai Lite beginner friendly?

MapSamurai Lite is a powerful yet extremely easy to use plugin. After you upload
and activate the plugin, anyone can build the map in a few short steps, and adding
custom locations is just as simple. To get an idea of how it works, [see our full documentation](https://mapsamurai.com/documentation-lite)

### Is there a Pro version?

Yes! [MapSamurai Pro](https://mapsamurai.com) includes dozens of additional features,
including an AI-Assistant that cuts workloads in half, map clusters, 3D maps, and
so much more!

### Will my data carry over if I upgrade?

Yes! All locations and settings created in the Lite version will automatically be
available if you choose to upgrade.
