With MapTiler you can turn images into interactive map layers that can be displayed with Leaflet Maps Marker by configuring them as custom basemap or custom overlay.
Matthew Sangster now created a tutorial on how to create custom basemaps using MapTiler – many thanks for that!
Thanks to many motivated contributors, this release includes updates to the following translations:

Please note that translators are also compensated for their contribution – for example if a translation is finished less than 50%, the translator receives a free 25 licenses pack worth €149 as a compensation for completing the translation to 100%.
Unfortunately there is currently one issue that cannot be resolved directly within Leaflet Maps Marker:
With WordPress 4.2, Emoji support was added. Unfortunately there is an open bug (details) which can result in frozen maps or crashes on Internet Explorer – so WordPress 4.2, 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 are affected. According to the related trac ticket, a fix is already available and will hopefully be deployed soon with WordPress 4.2.3.
As workaround until WordPress 4.2.3 is available you can only disable Emojis at the moment for maps to also work properly in Internet Explorer.
We am really sorry for this issue, but this is beyond our influence – we already contacted the guys & ladies at WordPress and hope that the fix for the Emoji/SVG bug will be available soon.
Please see the roadmap for a rough schedule for planned features of the pro version and please subscribe to this blog (via RSS or Email) or follow @MapsMarker on twitter (= most current updates) if you want to stay up to date with the latest development news.
