A great dragonfl

Installed this on our site and it was an instant hit with our users. It's well designed, easy to use, and has great features - well worth the download for any community site.

Had to upgrade

I had to upgrade from Members Google Maps 0.7 to DF Maps. But my surprise was enormous as I like the new features a lot. Especially for our site it's a great idea. Let's see how the users get hold of it Wink

Many thanks and keep on going!
