<p>This plugin allows a WordPress Site Admin to enter locations of stores etc into the db.  The information is then displayed on the front end<br />
using the google maps interface.  The user can enter a starting location in the search field, the system will then find the closest location from<br />
it’s starting point and display the path and steps necessary to get to that location. If many locations are available in a similar range range,<br />
the plugin will request the driving distance between the two closest locations. It help to avoid the pitfall of getting an office across a river<br />
which may take a lot of driving to get to.</p>
<p>This plugin requires a valid Google Maps API key (free) from Google.  If you do not have an API key you may get one here.<br />
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html</p>
<p>The actual google maps functionality is based on GoogleMapAPI – A library used for creating google maps. Which can be found here<br />
