The number of comments on the SimpleMap page has now surpassed 150. I am so grateful for all of the feedback I have gotten from users! The downside of this is that the issues/bugs users have reported are sometimes getting lost in the sea of comments. Even though I’m keeping track with my own issue [...]
I stumbled across this script after an email from a SimpleMap user, who wanted some help figuring out where in my code he could program his own map markers. The code he sent back led me to this tool—albeit through a long period of site-to-site surfing—that I will use in SimpleMap 1.2 to allow for [...]

Yes, it’s another post about SimpleMap… I swear that other development insights and code snippets will be in my posts in the near future, but for now SimpleMap is taking up most of my dev time. This is more of an announcement and invitation for suggestions than anything else. What I have planned for the [...]
