I was looking for something simple, where I could add a short code into a page. Without any complicated plug-in settings or anything else. Everything can be set up and run very simple within the short code.
I have used several other plug-ins on the the other sites over the years. But this is what I was actually always looking for. It is lightweight, easy, simple, nothing unnecessary.
So again thank you So much for this great plug-in. I will replace the other map plug-ins with this one on the other sites. You’re awesome plug-in simply rocks. Thank you.

EXTREMELY Poorly Documented.
Buggy, non-user-friendly.
Not for professional use – expect a lot of wasted time trying to make it look semi-professional
