Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Out of the Block: OpenStreetMap
No. That's the point, actually. Just install the plugin and start adding maps. Keep in mind, though, that as stated on the OpenStreetMap Tile Usage Policy, OSM’s own servers are run entirely on donated resources and they have strictly limited capacity. Using them on a site with low traffic will probably be fine. Nevertheless, you are advised to create an account to MapBox and get a free API Key.
You can find the style URL on Mapbox Studio. There, use the "Share" button, and under "Developer resources", copy the "Style URL". It should look like that: mapbox://styles/username/style-id. You can declare a global style on the plugin's settings, to be used as a default for all the maps, or you can set a custom style for each map, by using the block's settings panel.
To add a location, left-click on the map for a while, until you see the prompt saying "Release to drop a marker here". On browsers that support it, the cursor transforms from hand to crosshair, to make it even more apparent. As long as the prompt is visible, it means that releasing the click will drop the marker at that spot. That slight delay has been added to prevent you from accidentally adding markers all over the place with every click. Alternatively, you can use the map's place search functionality.
Click on the marker to open up its popup. There, you will see the "Remove" button. I can't find some of the options like disable dragging, setting zoom levels etc Check under the "Map behavior" section, at the blocks' settings at the sidebar on the right. It's toggled off by default, that's probably why you missed it.
First of all, you will need to create an account to an AI provider (like OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic or similar) and get an API key. Then, go to the plugin's settings page and paste your API provider's endpoint URL, Model and API key there. After that, you can start adding markers by using commands in natural language. Just say "please" to activate (e.g. "Please, show me where GOT was filmed"). Please keep in mind, though, that it's like asking ChatGPT, Claude or any other AI Assistant: the answers you get might not always be 100% reliable, and you should always double-check to confirm their accuracy. Read more.
On the block's side panel, Select the "Map data" panel and click on the "Fetch locations" button. This will automatically retrieve on the frontend all the markers from your posts (you can also select a specific post type from the dropdown). The block will be locked from editing, as the markers will be dynamically retrieved from the selected posts. If you don't want that, there is a "Stop syncing" button that will unlock the block, drop the markers on the map and allow you to edit.

Glad you asked! There are a few hooks that you can use to further customize the plugin's behavior. You can find them here.
