My favorite mapping plugin
This is by far the best mapping plugin i have seen. I was using QGIS only to create maps for my wordpress site. But this plugin does an excellent job and is integrated in wordpress.I started sponsoring this plugin. I hope more people will do that, it is worth it !You can support it with a one time amount or a monthly amount. Just a few dollars will help.

Another example of how great WordPress and open source is
Was asked if I could add routes and maps to an existing website I made. Thought I'd have to code it from scratch but came across this brilliant plugin which pretty much covered all the functionality I required. Thank you Joe for a great plugin.
