 * this looks awesome, devin – is there a plan to associate markers with posts or
   better yet, extend post meta with marker info so that they automatically appear
   on a map if values are provided?

 * Hmm, I haven’t given that much thought. It sounds very similar to what MapPress
   does. I’m hesitant to start moving data from the main CPT but I would like to
   hear more about what you are proposing to fully understand.
 * Can you give me a scenario where this would be useful?

 * you are right, it is similar to what mappress does – i have just taken your mantra–“
   One Google Maps plugin to rule them all.” – and that’s then a missing feature.
 * a scenario where it would be useful is if i want to track spatial movement of
   blogposts, e.g. a travel blog. obviously one could simply link the marker to 
   the map as a workaround, however if i have 100 itineraries it gets difficult.
 * another interesting feature would be directions integration.
 * thanks for your blazing fast response, btw…

 * Yeah haha, I knew that mantra would eventually get me in trouble. I’m going to
   keep my ear out and if I receive more similar requests then I’ll consider adding
   it. But for now, there’s a bunch of other features, like directions, that I want
   to build into the plugin.
 * You are right about the directions being a large missing component. This is on
   my priority to get into the plugin asap. For now, I’m going to mark this as resolved
   but will keep a mental note of your request.
