 * Hi, when I set the **address** as Singapore,
    the thumbnail is correct, but the
   actual map on the lightbox is pointed somewhere near **Coffeyvill** in US.
 * Any idea what’s wrong?

 * Hi, thank you for this great and simple plugin.
 * I am having a similar issue, but the problem occurs only in the lightbox map.
   In other words, the map is fine as it appears in the widget, but when one clicks
   on it he is showed Coffeyvil.
 * The temporary fix I found was to remove the business name from the address field,
   however, now the pin balloon doesn’t display the business name in it, just the
   address… so it is not ideal.
 * I couldn’t find anything about this one in the support pages… did you find a 
   fix by any chance?
 * I am using the latest wordpress version and the latest Responsive Theme version.
 * Everything else works great!
