 * Can you post the shortcode you’re using on your map page? Are you using any filters
   to customize the plugin?

 * I use [bgmp-map] shortcode, no filters used – I even wouldn’t know how to apply
   them. No guru skills here 🙂

 * There was a bug in version 1.9.1 that caused this, but I’ve fixed it in version
   1.9.2. Can you please try upgrading and let me know if you have any problems?

 * There’ve been some other problems reported in the 1.9 branch, so I’ve reverted
   the stable tag back to 1.8 until they’re resolved. I’ll post here again when 
   a new 1.9 release candidate is available.

 * I’ve issued a new release candidate for 1.9.3, which contains the fix for this
   and a few other bugs in the 1.9 branch. You can download it at [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/basic-google-maps-placemarks.1.9.3-rc1.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/basic-google-maps-placemarks.1.9.3-rc1.zip)
 * If possible, install it on a staging server. That way your live site won’t be
   harmed if there is still a bug, and also you’ll be able to leave the error in
   place for me to inspect.
 * Please let me know if that fixes the problem for you or not.

 * The release candidate for version 1.10 is out, and should fix this. Please let
   me know if any of you are still experiencing problems with it.
