ACF OpenStreetMap Field

50 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With about 9,000 active installs, the plugin has a modest but steady user base that signals real production usage rather than a hobby project.

Update Freshness

4/25

The last update landed on December 22, 2024, and it is tested against WordPress 6.7.5, but there has been no follow-up activity in the months since, so momentum is uncertain.

User Rating

14/15

A 92 out of 100 from 24 reviews is genuinely strong and suggests the small group of users who have rated it are very satisfied with the field.

Support Health

8/15

Support health is the weak point here, with zero support threads opened and therefore zero resolved, which makes it hard to predict how the author will respond when problems arise.

WP Compatibility

8/15

The plugin requires only WordPress 4.8 and PHP 5.6, giving it wide compatibility, but the minimums are dated and there is no explicit WooCommerce, block editor, or multisite testing noted.

What It Does

ACF OpenStreetMap Field adds a configurable map input to Advanced Custom Fields, letting administrators save latitude, longitude, and address data for posts, pages, or custom post types without paying for a Google Maps API key. It pulls tiles from OpenStreetMap through Leaflet and stores the values as serialized field data that themes and templates can query. The result is a repeatable map field you can drop into any ACF field group.

Who It's For

This plugin suits developers and site builders already running Advanced Custom Fields who need a free, open map provider for projects like real estate listings, local business directories, or event locations. It is a good fit for shops that prefer OpenStreetMap over Google to avoid billing accounts and usage quotas. Small teams comfortable writing a few lines of template code to render the saved coordinates will get the most out of it.

Who Should Skip It

If you are not already using Advanced Custom Fields Pro or free, this plugin is useless to you, and if you need turnkey geocoding, address autocomplete, or a polished front end map widget, you will be disappointed. Sites that require Google Street View, driving directions, or tight commercial support should look at paid alternatives instead.

The Bottom Line

ACF OpenStreetMap Field does one focused thing, saving map coordinates inside ACF, and the 92 rating from its small reviewer pool suggests it does that job well. The overall quality score of 53.8 out of 100 is dragged down by thin support data and only a single update cycle in the last year, so treat it as a capable utility for ACF users rather than a fully backed product. It is a sensible pick if you want a free map field and you can write the few lines of template code needed to display it.
