 * This plugin stopped working and produces errors related to obsolete class constructors.
 * > The called constructor method for WP_Widget in GMap_Gpx_Search_Widget is deprecated
   > since version 4.3.0! Use __construct() instead.
 * _[ [No bumping please](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#No_Bumping). 
   And do not ping the author again that way, it’s considered rude. ]_

 * I am not bumping, I am seriously trying to contact the plugin author as requested

 * From his email:

   > take it over.
   > Before we can consider this request, we have a few requirements.
   > 1. Please attempt to contact the original developer. If you can’t email them,
   > have you tried leaving a comment in their plugin’s support page? We expect 
   > you to make all reasonable efforts to reach out to them. If you HAVE reached
   > out, how and where did you do so?
   > 2. Have a completed, updated, version of the code. We expect you to ensure 
   > the plugin abides by all our guidelines and has any security issues you find
   > resolved.
   > If you have, then please send us the code. After we receive your version of
   > the code as a zip, we will review it and test it. If we feel the code would
   > be accepted today as a new plugin, we will contact the original developer on
   > your behalf and give them your information, explaining that you want to take
   > over development.
   > Should they reply, we will honor their decision. If they don’t reply, we give
   > them 7-14 days and then either hand over the plugin, or ask you convert the
   > plugin into a fork. In most cases, we’ll do everything we can to ensure the
   > original plugin author has been notified, but sometimes that’s just not possible.
   > We do our best to respect them as much as we respect you as a developer, and
   > honor their wishes with their work.
