 * I am trying to get this plugin to work and I can’t get past the initial set up
   where it says I can enter a lat/lon. Here is the lat/lon that works in Google
   Maps:
 * 18.0782074/-77.9684901
 * Please advise.

 * I got it to work. I put the lat/lon with a slash as it reads in what is accepted.
   Then I read the directions and it states to use a comma. Maybe change the wording
   on the settings page to:
    “You can type in anything that you would type into 
   a Google Maps search field, from a full address to an intersection, landmark,
   city, zip code or **latitude,longitude** coordinates.” (not latitude/longitude)
 * Just a suggestion.
