 * 1st: Thanks for the great WP plugin!
    2nd: I am a fan of OpenStreetMap and I 
   really dislike dependencies on big data companies like Google. So I would appreciate
   if the EventOrganizer would provide an alternative to using GMaps, that could
   include
 * – allow editing the coordinate in plain text, use it for the GEO information 
   in the ical feed
    – provide a configuration to disable the use of GMaps – make
   the venue url editable, to be able to link to an external page – add a link from
   the events page to external GMaps or OSM based on the coordinates (as config 
   option) instead of the venue pages, no link would be shown in case no coordinate
   is given – make it configurable to have internal or external GMaps or internal
   or external OSM
 * I can work with your plugin if you can do the first point. You’d make me real
   happy if you do all 🙂
