 * The plugin doesn’t support geolocation, but I’ll add it to the list of requested
   features and consider it if enough people ask for it.

 * Any update on this feature? It would great to be able to show customers the map
   based on their current location…
 * Oh does anyone know of a map plugin that does support Geolocation?
 * Thanks…Gary

 * This looks to be ridiculously easy to implement if you use [http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite](http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite)

 * Will look to play with this this afternoon as I’ll be implementing it myself.
   Will let you know what I find.

 * I’m not going to explain how to setup or install geolocation as that can be found
   on the phparch.com link. I used Quova as I don’t have credentials to add pear
   files to the server I am working on. Having said that, please look at the following
   pastebin to get an idea on how to do the geolocation on page load:
 * [http://pastebin.com/jQyP79r3](http://pastebin.com/jQyP79r3)
 * This is at the bottom of my functions.php. Obviously you have to have an include
   or require to the quova class.
 * If I remember correctly you have to create a custom page for this using the code
   <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[bgmp-map]’); ?> to create the map.
