It would be great to have a map widget like you have available on the hosted OR website, available for Wordpress or other sites.

I'm not sure what the purpose would be?  The usual map systems, like Google Maps, make it easy to embed their map in your site, so we'd just be duplicating their efforts.

I'm aware of Google Map capabilities, but OZ creates one map and automatically adds every new property that is added in the backend, whereas to create the map in Google, I'd have to go in and update each one of my new properties on it, It feels like double work to me. OZ already has this option on their hosted websites.

I think the bigger issue is that the map location is integrated in the hosted site already while the Wordpress plugin is seemingly ignored feature-wise.

I wanted to jump in and add there are a plethora of custom map widgets out there that do work when implemented into a Hosted site or WordPress site. These require having someone on your team who handles the programming aspect typically both so you can troubleshoot and set them up, but we have done testing of some of these options and they do work.
