 * Hi,
 * Thank you for this great plugin! I love it.
 * I only have one question: is it possible to use it with shortcode? if yes, how?

 * Hi and thanks for the feedback.
 * The plugin doesn’t include any shortcodes, as it is just a block. In fact, its
   entire logic is built around the capabilities that the Block Editor offers, and
   I’m not sure if it would even be possible to recreate the same UX without it.

 * Thanks for the answer. I found a way that I can still use the maps with page 
   builders:
    - set the map in gutenberg until it looks fine.
    - click on “edit as html” and copy the html code
    - paste it into the custom html block of the page builder (for example elementor)
 * I just wrote it down here in case someone is looking for a solution for the same
   problem.

 * I was curious why someone who doesn’t use the Block Editor would care about using
   this plugin, but with your example above, I get it. I’m trying to think if the
   plugin could provide an easier way to offer what you basically described. One
   way that I can think would be to follow your example and provide a shortcode 
   like `[ootb post=123 block=1234]` which would fetch the specific block from the
   specific post. This would require from you to always have the block and the post
   available, though. I wonder if the Block Patterns (former Reusable blocks) could
   be utilized to make it cleaner.
 * I will think about it a bit more, and I will try to come up with a practical 
   solution.
 * Thanks again for the feedback!

 * So, v.2.6.0 adds shortcode support, which essentially allows you to query the
   markers from existing posts. More info: [https://github.com/gsarig/ootb-openstreetmap/releases/tag/2.6.0](https://github.com/gsarig/ootb-openstreetmap/releases/tag/2.6.0)
