 * REVISION # 2 ————————————-
 * Customer support on this was great and issues are being worked out, I changed
   my rating. Thanks Devin!
 * —————————————————
 * This plugin doesn’t work, nor does it appear to have the functionality it shows
   in “Screenshots.”
 * There is the following error each pageload:
 * Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ……. wp-content/plugins/google-
   maps-builder/public/class-wordpress-google-maps-engine.php on line 119
 * And it only has two tabs, Maps and General, no map “builder” as implied in the
   title.
 * REVISION ——————————————
 * I got this plugin to work after changing the “menu item” number value, then the
   plugin magically appeared in my menu like it should have automatically.
 * I was using WP Google Map plugin, which is better, but it wouldn’t show on my
   site after SSL, guess I’ll downgrade to this plugin until the other’s support
   gets back to me.
 * I say downgrade because this is somewhat over complicated, and the other plugin
   has several more options.

 * I’m a bit confused as to why you gave the 1 star review? Is it because you were
   confused at the install process or the PHP warning you received? If you could
   work with support BEFORE rating 1-star that would be appreciated since that way
   we can work constructively to improve the plugin.
 * Hasty 1 star reviews are not a good thing.

 * Sorry for the confusion.
 * I installed the plugin and had to troubleshoot immediately, which should never
   really occur.
 * In general, this turns out to be a “good” plugin, though, the menu list number
   is ridiculous to me, and it seems that is what caused all of my errors. I am 
   not sure why you included that option, but I recommend removing it. The plugin
   did not work properly or even show up in the menu at all until I picked a “smaller”
   menu list number. Weird.
 * Also, I’d like to be able to place addresses in the location field, without needing
   to go find Long/Lat.
 * Sorry if you think it was hasty, maybe I should’ve provided you with a two star
   rating, and I tried changing the review to no avail. On the same token, you replied
   and WP Google Maps plugin failed to provide support when their map stopped rendering
   after I implemented SSL on my site. So kudos there.
 * Regardless, I personally think plugins should work out of the box without errors,
   not sure why there was that generated error in the first place but it cost me
   30 minutes of time and was pretty frustrating once I realized I needed to change
   the menu item number in order to see the proper functions in the menu.
 * Good luck with updates, and in the future I’ll recommend your plugin.
 * Thanks,
    Paul

 * Hi Paul,
 * Many things can lead to a plugin not working on install like theme and plugin
   conflicts, hosting incompatiblity, etc. So it’s difficult to guarantee that the
   plugin will work flawlessly for every setup.
 * The menu number is something that’s added for the user’s convenience. A lot of
   plugins place their menu item in a certain place and moving it is difficult without
   coding experience. This is the first I’ve heard of an issue with it but I’ll 
   keep my eye out and if it’s causing more confusion I may just scrap it.
 * I’m not sure what you mean:
 * `I'd like to be able to place addresses in the location field, without needing
   to go find Long/Lat.`
 * You should be able to enter any location/address is the Google autocomplete field
   and have that marker display on that location without ever touching the lng/lat
   fields.
 * I’m trying to do my best to support this free plugin and improve it for all users.
   1 star ratings are very discouraging when so much work has gone into it and it’s
   offered to the community for no charge.
 * My goal is to make this the best Google maps plugin for WordPress. I would like
   to thank you for bringing your issues to light. If you would like to re-rate 
   the plugin you can do so by navigating here [http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/google-maps-builder](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/google-maps-builder)
   and scrolling all the way to the bottom. You can adjust your review there.
 * Keep an eye out for many improvements and enhancements in the future!

 * Thanks for reconsidering your rating – much appreciated and rest assure I will
   continue to work out the bugs and improve the plugin.
