 * Thanks for the very useful plugin. I have been looking for one for a loooong 
   time. Simply easy. A few features request:
 * 1. Option to use icons (or dots) instead of thumbnails on the map. The thumbnails
   clutter the map and make impossible to select (or see the selection) when there
   are many photos. It will be good to have icons (or dots) to show the locations
   of photos, while only showing the thumbnail of selected or centered photo.
 * 2. To work with Gallery shortcode. That will allow composing the map of selected
   photos based on ids. Even better, to get photos from a specific post id/slug.
 * 3. Alternative display format – choice. Instead of display the map, display the
   photo and show the map next to it. This way, it allows viewing a gallery while
   seeing location of the selected photo. Even better, the map pane is collapsible.
 * 4. I second the request from another reviewer. To plot the route of gpx or kml
   file. Even better, use date/time stamp of the photos to plot a route.
 * Sorry for being greedy. 🙂
    Many thanks again for the great plugin.
