Well actually. This summer without a doubt… I need to get it released. Here’s a link a demo of my current working version (depending on when you visit it may or may not be working due to me working on it):

http://sandbox.connections-pro.com/geo-prototype/

One item to notice as you visit… the browser will ask permission to use your location. If you accept, Locate will use it to show the entries within the area you are located. If you deny permission, it fallback to geo-locating your IP address and show you local entries based on that. Nowhere near as accurate but for most users it’ll be in the ballpark, so to speak.

Another feature of note, when you start typing an address or zipcode to search, it’ll autocomplete.

Write now it has no settings other than a few shortcode options (3)… I’m contemplating finishing up the mapinfo bubble with entry details and a get directions action and releasing it as is adding features as they are asked for.
