Another Useless Advert Plugin

Yet another useless plugin that’s just an advertisement for their paid version. Not worth installing.

Terrible!! In the free version all options, imports are disabled.

Disappointing! In the free version, all options and imports are disabled, forcing you to purchase the PRO version. Don’t waste your time with the free version at all.

Takes lots of money to make it useful !

They say it’s free, but you can’t use it – add pins, save locations etc. without paying ALOT of money. I’m going to keep looking for an alternative.
