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.<\/p>\n\n
Who is this for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Core features (Free)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Pro add-on (sold separately)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n Why not just embed Google Maps?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n No. Granpai3DGlobe doesn't use Google Maps at all - the globe is rendered entirely with WebGL using open map data, so there's no API key to obtain, no billing to monitor, and no risk of the map breaking if a key expires or a quota is hit.<\/p><\/dd>\n The globe\/map assets only load on pages that actually use the shortcode - there's no sitewide overhead. The 3D rendering itself runs in the visitor's browser via WebGL, which is hardware-accelerated on virtually all modern devices.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The Free plan includes 1 map with up to 2 pins, every render mode\/theme\/style, and the full Import\/Export tools - enough to fully evaluate the plugin before deciding on Pro.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes - that's one of the most common uses. Add one pin per location with its own address\/contact details (Pro) or description text (Free), and visitors can click any pin to see that location's details.<\/p><\/dd>\n No - Photoreal uses a real satellite photo texture of Earth, which can't be recolored as a flat color. The Minimal style (Pro) supports a custom globe base color instead.<\/p><\/dd>\n Maps and pins are stored as custom post types in your own WordPress database, like any other content - nothing is sent to or stored on an external server. The Import\/Export tool lets you back up or move this data as a plain JSON file.<\/p><\/dd>\n Under 3D Globe Maps > Settings > License<\/strong> once the Pro add-on is installed and active.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n
