Modern Events Calendar Advanced Map

Description

The Advanced Map addon adds a professional map visualization shortcode to Modern Events Calendar, with styles based on OpenStreetMap, filters by address, street, and region, as well as events displayed alongside the map. As an extension that depends on MEC Pro, the component helps event websites, local calendars, and event listing portals guide visitors by location, geographic proximity, and address details without relying solely on the traditional list.
