Google maps dont work well, they changed something in this year. Make it work for custom types. Make it adapted to Shortcode UI (Shortcake). Many people would buy licence for this, I guess anyway. Still 5 stars, it doesnt influence rating. Sorry, forgot. Few more fields for images for credits would be welcome. All images from Flicks and net needs it to be on safe side of law. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bcc541b188e9bbfcb3ff0b5da4fbf53d5fee77259e2449b9673d07c7acccfce0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-1605/)󠁿 [1](https://profiles.wordpress.org/f4tal1st/) September 3, 2016 4 replies Works pretty good on 4.4 and exactly what I want. Nice plugin to increase productivity and good timesaver. Dear developer, is it possibly to make links from Google & Wiki search open not in the same tab where my post/page/custom-stuff edit is, but open them in different tab? Yes, I know it is possibly with right click, but… =) [ Read all 5 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/insights/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Insights” is open source software.
