Simple Map 1.1.0

Simple Map 1.1.0 brings a major usability upgrade for interactive maps in Obsidian. Pins are easier to work with in crowded areas, previews are more flexible, and a single code block can now contain multiple map views.

Highlights

  • Per-note pin sizes

    • Set a custom size for individual pins directly from a note’s properties.
    • Useful for emphasizing capitals, regions, landmarks, quest locations, or other important entries.
  • Improved pin interaction

    • Click a pin to open its note preview.
    • Double-click a pin to open its note.
    • Ctrl/Cmd + double-click opens the note in a new tab.
    • Pin dragging is now smoother and no longer flickers between normal and hover states.
  • Multiple draggable previews

    • Keep several pin previews open at once.
    • Drag previews around the map to keep important notes visible while exploring.
    • Click the map background to close open previews.
  • Better overlapping-pin handling

    • Selecting a pin spreads nearby and fully stacked pins apart, making dense clusters easier to inspect and select.
  • Multiple maps in one block

    • Add multiple maps to a single simple-map code block.
    • Switch between terrain, political, regional, or other map variants without duplicating shared configuration.
    • Map changes close previews automatically to keep the current view clean.
  • Note-linked overlays

    • Attach image or SVG overlays to notes using frontmatter.
    • Overlays can appear on every map in a block or only on a named map.
    • Supports custom overlay opacity for borders, routes, regional labels, territory layers, and more.

Example: note-linked overlay

sm-overlay:
  - "[[Valdoria Borders.svg]]"
  - "Political: [[Valdoria Borders Flat.svg]]"
sm-overlay-opacity: 0.8

The first overlay appears on all maps in the block. The second appears only when the map named Political is active.

Quality improvements

  • Improved cleanup when map blocks re-render or close.
  • More resilient handling of missing map and overlay files, with developer-console warnings instead of failures.
  • Updated documentation and property templates for the new options.
