ShMapper by Teplitsa is a WordPress plugin designed for crowdsourcing map creation on OpenStreetMap. It provides users with the ability to configure and display maps with custom markers on their web pages, offering an alternative to traditional online mapping services. Core features include the use of shortcodes for displaying maps, a feedback form for submitting new map markers, and the option for pre or post-moderation of these submissions. Additionally, the plugin supports custom marker icons and includes reCaptcha form protection to enhance security.

The plugin requires PHP version 5.6 or higher to function properly. Users can easily integrate ShMapper into their WordPress sites and benefit from its straightforward setup. It also encourages community involvement by allowing users to report bugs, request features, or contribute translations through GitHub. This collaborative approach aims to continuously improve the plugin's functionality and user experience.
