I installed the plugin (including API key) and on my “locations” page added 5 addresses which included street, city, and state (no zip).

I was alarmed when I updated the page and it didn't display a google map, but re-reading the instructions this plugins is just for a sidebar widget?!  Is that true?  Why can't google maps be generated on the pages for just those addresses?  If they can, please tell me how.

I added a sidebar widget, which shows a default google map and no plot points.

Went back and found you actually can't edit addresses once added (can you fix this in a future release), so I deleted it, and added it back in “with” a zip code (in case that was the problem) – still nothing plots on the map.

Any ideas?  PM me for a screen shot or URL, it's a private dev site.

thanks!

… We plan to include a simple shortcode in a future release to drop a full Google map on any page or post with plots …

Cool. I registered here so that I could suggest that, but it looks like you already have it in the works anyway

This is a confirmed feature for the next version.  Hoping to have that released over the weekend!

I have been looking for a plugin just like this for quite some time for my latest project and the fact that you are working on a shortcode is music to my ears!  Any update on when the next version will be ready?

I tried a workaround by creating a dynamic sidebar inside single.php and it worked for some test widgets but trying to put the map in there resulted in some kind of infinite loop with the page urning into a string of a few hundrred copies of the post!  If I come up with a solution, I'll be sure to post it.

Thanks fo the great plugin!
