Pop up window on interactive map

Hi fellow redditors :)

I built my website for this niche passion project I have: https://tracksintime.com/ The idea is basically a gallery to recreate old pictures of derelict narrow gauge railways in Bosnia. Very niche, very special, very passionate about it :D I am not in IT at all, so I learned myself how to build a website, that was part of the journey for me.

Right now I am at my limits of what I can do with WordPress and while the website works, I am not 100 % happy with its functionality. The issue I have is with the interactive map, for example here: https://tracksintime.com/ostbahn-2/ You click on the marker and the pop up window that appears is the best I could do. I was imagining it would be bigger, you could browse pictures in it directly without clicking and opening a new window on top of this pop up, with tiny arrows to browse the pics. It is not very user friendly or intuitive.

It is built on following:

Theme: Twenty Twenty-Four
Map: Treweller
Settings for the marker look like this:

Do you know how to improve it? Are there better maps available? An other tip for the website? I feel it is maybe to complicated to get through all the pages to the final map (clicking on top on "list of railways", then choosing one specific railway..).

I was searching online and asking AI, but always ended up with some dead end suggestion..

Thank you.
