<p>There is a real good plugin called “Leaflet Map” in the repository. Unfortunately the developers missed to create a simple widget for this.<br />
This plugin is filling the gap.</p>

<h4>How does Nearby Map works ?</h4>
<p>Nearby Map does not use Google Map, beacause there is other good librairies :</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://leafletjs.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Leaflet</a>, in order to create the map and every Location (under <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Licence_BSD" rel="nofollow ugc">BSD open-source licence</a>)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenStreetMap</a>, to gather geograhpical information (under <a href="http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/" rel="nofollow ugc">Open Data Commons Open Database License</a>)</li>
<li><a href="http://cloudmade.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">CloudMade</a> to retrieve GPS coordinates, and in order to generate every route from one location to another <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" rel="nofollow ugc">Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 License</a></li>

</ul>
