Cartogram

== Description ==

Location plugins usually make you choose between a real taxonomy and a working map. Cartogram stores locations as a hierarchical taxonomy with coordinates in term meta, so archives, filters and the REST API all work — and the map is a separate, optional block on top.

The map block renders a static placeholder with the location name and a button. Nothing from a tile provider loads until the reader presses it. That is one fewer third party watching every visitor, and about 400KB of JavaScript nobody paid for.

Geocoding is optional and manual: paste coordinates, or click once to geocode a single term. There is no background process sending your address list anywhere.

== Installation ==

• Install and activate the plugin.
• Create locations under Posts → Locations and add coordinates.
• Insert the Map block and choose a location, or let it use the post’s own.

A tile provider key is only needed for the interactive map. The taxonomy works without one.

== Frequently asked questions ==

Which tile providers work?

Anything serving standard raster or vector tiles. The readme has configuration for four, including two you can self-host.

Is the click-to-load required?

It is the default and I recommend keeping it. You can set the block to load immediately per instance.
