 * Hi,
 * Thanks for making such a great plugin.
 * I had a question about geocoding.
 * Google says that to use the Google Maps Geocoding API, you need an API key.
 * Usage limit: 2,500 free requests per day
 * It looks like your plugin is doing geocoding but it does not seem to need a geocoding
   API from Google.
 * Is that because the plugin is not using Google geocoding?
 * If the plugin is using Google geocoding would I not need an API key to use the
   plugin?
 * And would I have to be concerned about geocoding request usage limits?
 * Thanks.
