Your original idea is awesome

Less is more. Light is better. You original idea is awesome. Keep going ! These updates would be appreciate : - an update to use the new Google Map API, - make it 100% WPML compatible (join translated locations using shortcode static map) - be able to add our own custom taxonomy from the dashboard

Not Updated; No longer works

Plugin is useless as it has zero functionality. Probably needs a minor update, but currently has no support and no updates.

Awesome plugin!!!
