Comparison to Other Mapping Plugins
Geo Mashup was one of the earliest WordPress mapping plugins, first released in 2005. Eventually the author began using it for freelance jobs, which he still does. As such Geo Mashup is more tailored to customization and hacking than ease of use, but many user-requested features have been released over the years. Geo Mashup creates three tables to optimize location searches.
It's just crazy how many mapping plugins have sprung up since then. If all those developers had worked together we'd have just a few much better plugins. I've been guilty of not reaching out to other authors. If you are a developer interested in working together for a better WordPress mapping future, contact me via my site and I'll work with you.
Support
The author monitors WP Questions, and there is a public Google Group. The author doesn't promise free support, but is amenable to questions that contribute something to the community.
