Hi dev, I found out your plugin/module is not updated anymore but still working on the latest core version of wordpress. This plugin is very helpful and unique. Hope to update and maintain this plugin. Thank you.

Still works…

On ACF 5.9.5 & WP 5.7.1. Props to the developer!

Works great, for focus point too!

This plugin works so well for image maps, but it’s also a really solid solution for setting a focus point for mobile images.

Still works

I use this to add marker coordinates to a simple world map image. works great with repeater field. only “problem” is it saves the percentages as a string separated by comma and with a lot of decimals. so first thing to do is to explode the string in order to access the left and top percentages.

great work, thanks for sharing
