Viro Filter Map & Store Locator shows your stores, dealers, stockists, offices or members on an OpenStreetMap map, with search and filters. No API key, no Google account, no cookies from the map: install it, add your locations and the map works.
Visitors filter by category with faceted filters (OR within a group, AND between groups), search by name or address, and see the results on the map and in a grid of cards at the same time, without reloading the page.
It is built with vanilla JavaScript and the WordPress REST API: no jQuery, no external CDN, light on mobile. It works with block themes (Full Site Editing), the block editor and page builders.

External Services
This plugin connects to a third-party service to display the map:
OpenStreetMap map tiles
* Purpose: The map background (the “tiles”) is loaded from the OpenStreetMap tile servers on the pages that contain the [virofpl_locator] shortcode, unless the “No Map (List Only)” option is selected.
* Data Sent: The visitor’s browser requests the map tiles directly from tile.openstreetmap.org, which receives the visitor’s IP address, browser user agent and the address of the page (referrer). No cookies are set and no other data is sent.
* Service Provider: OpenStreetMap Foundation.
* Tile Usage Policy: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/
* Privacy Policy: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy
All the other files (Leaflet library, styles and map pins) are bundled with the plugin: nothing is loaded from external CDNs.
