A privacy-friendly plugin for embedding OpenStreetMap views in Micro.blog posts. Shows an optional static preview image that turns into an interactive map when clicked.

Add this shortcode to your post:

{{< map loc="48.1351,11.5820" zoom="14" >}}

That's it! The map will be embedded automatically.

• loc – Coordinates in latitude,longitude format (e.g. 48.1351,11.5820)
• zoom – Zoom level from 0 (whole world) to 19 (building level), default: 14

Recommended zoom levels:

• 10–13 for city/region
• 14–16 for neighborhood/town center (default)
• 17–19 for individual buildings

Use the OSM Embed Validator to try out your settings in the browser.

Configure these options in your Micro.blog plugin settings:

• Geoapify API Key – For static preview images (optional but recommended)
• Default Zoom – Used when no zoom is specified in the shortcode
• Preview Style – Map design for light/dark mode
• Privacy Notice – Text for optional privacy overlay

Without an API key, the map embeds directly. With Geoapify you get a clickable preview image:

1. Create free account at Geoapify (3000 requests/day free)
2. Generate API key in dashboard
3. Enter key in plugin settings
4. Optional: Choose map style (e.g. osm-carto, dark-matter-yellow-roads)

• The plugin uses OpenStreetMap servers. High-traffic sites should consider running their own tile servers.
• RSS feeds will show maps automatically when coordinates are provided.
