Post on Map Widget ¶

The Post On Map Widget by Mappls is free to use, offering seamless functionality for all users. It allows flexibility to post updates either as a logged-in user or anonymously, depending on the type of post. If posting with an image, users need to log in via SSO (Single Sign-On) to upload images, ensuring accountability and security. If posting without an image, users can post updates anonymously, enabling quick and hassle-free sharing of information. This approach balances accessibility and user accountability, making it ideal for diverse scenarios while maintaining ease of use.
