Granpai3DGlobe

Description

Granpai3DGlobe drops a genuine, rotating WebGL 3D globe (or a flat world map) anywhere on your site with a single shortcode – no Google Maps API key, no per-load billing, no external tracking scripts. Add a pin for every office, store, event, or team member, and each one opens a clean modal with its own heading and text when clicked.

Who is this for?

• Multi-location businesses that want a store/office locator that actually looks impressive, not a plain embedded map
• Agencies and teams building an “our global presence” or “where we work” page
• Travel, real estate, or events sites that need to plot places on a map
• Nonprofits and NGOs showing where their projects or chapters operate

Core features (Free)

• Real 3D Globe mode (WebGL, drag-to-rotate, scroll/pinch to zoom) or a Flat map mode for a more traditional look
• Dark or Light theme, independent of map mode
• Photoreal (satellite imagery) or Minimal (clean line-art) globe style
• Custom pin color per map
• Unlimited maps and pins are a Pro feature – Free includes 1 map with up to 2 pins, so you can fully evaluate the plugin before upgrading
• One simple shortcode: [Granpai3DGlobe id="123"]
• Import / Export your maps and pins as JSON – move between sites or keep a backup
• No API key required, no recurring third-party map billing

Pro add-on (sold separately)

• Unlimited maps and pins
• Pin images and contact/social icons (email, phone, website, Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn) shown right in the pin’s modal
• Next / Previous navigation between pins, with an animated flight-line arc and a focus “flash” on the destination marker
• Custom initial camera focus point per map
• Modal tag color, modal border color, and globe base color overrides
• Growth Timeline mode – give pins a date and scrub through your company’s expansion year by year
• Pin List Sidebar – an always-visible, scrollable list of every pin alongside the map

Pro is a separate, small companion plugin that only ever hooks into the extension points this plugin exposes – it never modifies this plugin’s files, and everything you build on Free keeps working if you never upgrade.

Why not just embed Google Maps?

A standard map embed is flat and instantly familiar – which also means it doesn’t stand out. Granpai3DGlobe is built for the moment you want a homepage, “About us,” or locations page to feel a little more impressive: an actual rotating 3D sphere rendered in the browser, with your own pins, colors, and content – and no Google Maps API key or usage limits to manage.
